Welcome to SLD!
Welcome to the Slavic Languages Division of the American Translators Association. The goal of the SLD website is to provide potential members and other interested people with information about our division, and access to some of our materials.
New SLD LinkedIn Group
The Slavic Languages Division now has its own LinkedIn Group, and all SLD members are welcome to join. LinkedIn is mainly intended for professional networking, but it is also a great forum for discussions and keeping updated on the activities of other SLD members. Please go to http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4279025&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr and request to join if you're interested. We look forward to seeing you there.
SLD Logo Design Contest
The SLD is holding a contest to design a division logo that can be used
on the SLD website, in correspondence, and on business cards.
Prize: One free ticket to the SLD dinner in San Diego.
Deadline for submissions: June 1 (extended!)
Rules:
1. Design a logo for the Slavic Languages Division of ATA.
It should use no more than 2-3 colors and should look nice on a computer
screen and when printed in color or grayscale on a business card
(for example, the ATA logo is 190x78 pixels).
2. Do not include the standard ATA logo (ATA rules). However, you may use
the words "American Translators Association."
3. Submit up to three designs (jpg or other common graphic format) per

whether you wish to remain anonymous.
Submitted designs will be displayed on the division website and/or
in the SlavFile and voted on by the SLD membership. Voting details will be
announced soon. (Depending on the number of submissions, finalists may be
chosen by the Leadership Council in consultation with SlavFile editors).
The winning design will be announced September 1, 2012.
All designs are subject to ATA approval.
