2018 CAMWS Latin Translation Contest – College Winners
Many thanks to the graders who made this year’s competition possible:
Committee Members: Jason Nethercut, University of South Florida (FL); Debbie Felton, University of Massachusetts, Amherst (MA); Sarah Ellery, Montgomery Bell Academy (TN); Chris Ann Matteo, Washington Latin Charter Public School (DC); William Duffy, Alamo College (TX); Nick Fletcher, Hawken School (OH); Krishni Burns, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (IL); Katie James, Vanguard College Preparatory School (TX); Co-Chair Margaret Musgrove, University of Central Oklahoma (OK); Co-Chair Ryan Sellers, Memphis University School (TN)
- 33 schools in 18 states and 1 Canadian province participated. Virginia, Michigan, Texas, North Carolina, and Florida had the most schools entered.
- A total of 407 students entered (241 intermediate, 196 advanced), a slight decrease from last year’s 417. However, only 308 papers (155 intermediate, 153 advanced) were submitted and graded.
- All but 3 schools submitted their results electronically rather than by traditional US mail.
- In order to make the contest as fair and objective as possible, all of the grading was blind, and all of the papers were evaluated according to AP-style translation “chunks.”
- In determining the top awards, ties did not cause substantial problems. When ties were a factor, awards were distributed to achieve a balance between the different graders.
- In some cases, the number of Certificates of Commendation may be a little lower or higher than the stated threshold, depending on how the ties worked out.
- Names of winners are listed in descending order of performance.
