How the Galois and Hilbert contests will work.

  • Translations are solicited into any language in which some journal publishes mathematical research or in which a national mathematical society publishes a regular bulletin. Other languages are in principle welcome, but we editors may not find the time and expertise to adequately deal with them as described below.
  • Each translation should be submitted to the editors with mention of the competition. If deemed to have some merit, a submitted translation will be posted as an annex to the web page for the contest, along with the date of receipt and date of posting.
  • Each translation submitted should include the names and addresses of its author(s) and other relevant credits.
  • No author may update his translation more than twice.
  • A prize of one copy of the CD-ROM (or exceptionally more) will be accorded to entries that are judged to be important or of exceptional merit, taking into account other extant translations. The editors expect to involve as judges the editors of journals that publish in the languages in question.
  • Prizes will be announced progressively on this web page, and sent asap to the submitting author.
  • It will be understood that a translation submitted can, at the discretion of the editors, be published on the CD-ROM. Notwithstanding, an author will retain copyright for all other avenues of publication; he may request non-publication of his translation on the CD-ROM if a request is received by the editors before the CD-ROM production date.
  • Entries should be submitted in some format suitable for immediate www and CD publication. HTML is a best format choice when adequate.
  • The contest will be closed at the discretion of the editors at any time after December 31th, 1999. Closure will be announced here on the CD-ROM web page.
