Essay Contests
Essay contests are a great way to call attention to new learning groups, schools or departments. They are commonly used by Schools and Universities to raise consciousness about important issues and to encourage discourse, discussion and dialog among learners and teachers.

If your School, department or other learning group wants to conduct a contest, please feel free to list it below.

Why is language translation important?
The Interlingual Beta Club wishes to kick off an Essay Contest to promote the Multilingualism Practicum conducted on all the Wikiversity_translations and Betas.

The contest is two-fold:
 * 1) Foster Interlingual Dialog
 * 2) Recruit and train translators

The winning entry will become the introduction to the Translator's Handbook. See also:
 * Wikiversity translations/Recruiting translators
 * Wikiversity translations/Training translators

This contest is to help promote the Practicum for Foreign Language Learning. The essay should encourage, inspire, inform and motivate learners of foriegn languages to enter a learning path toward becoming translators at Wikiversity.

See Interlingual Beta Club for more information. Announce and post a link to your essay at Wikiversity talk:Interlingual Beta Club. Good Luck!
