The New York Classical Club invites you to send your students to this year’s Latin Sight Translation Contest for High School Students and to the second High School Latin Recitation/Reading Contest.

This year’s competitions will be held on Saturday, April 11th from 12:00 PM - 4:30 PM at The Nightingale-Bamford School (20 East 92nd St., between Madison and 5th Ave.) in Manhattan.  The translation contest will take place from 12:00-1:30, and the recitation/reading contest will follow from 2:00-4:00. There will be some light refreshments available from 1:30-2:00. Monetary prizes will be awarded to the top three elocutionists in prose and poetry and to the top three translators in each of the five divisions of the competition. 

The different levels for this competition are:

Caesar – Division I                   Cicero – Division II                   Ovid – Division III

Vergil – Division IV                   Horace – Division V

Please note that all divisions will have appropriate vocabulary help, which we hope will encourage students to participate.  

More information plus the registration form will become available closer to the date. We ask that you limit your registration to three students per level (thus, a maximum of 15 students per school).
