This remarkable achievement is all the more impressive given the scale of the competition, which received over 22,000 entries from pupils across the UK. Henry’s translation stood out as one of the very best, earning a place in the top 5,000 entries selected by a panel of expert linguists, professional translators, and academics from the University of Oxford and the Anthea Bell Prize Team.
The Anthea Bell Prize celebrates excellence in literary translation and encourages young people to engage creatively and critically with languages. Winning this award places Henry among the most promising young linguists in the country.
Congratulations to Henry on this outstanding accomplishment – we are incredibly proud of his success!
