Thus July, the International Linguistics Olympiad (a problem-solving competition aimed at secondary school students) will be held in Dublin. Since I’ve been helping a bit to organize the French half of this year′s Canadian Linguistics Olympiad -- which leads directly into the international event -- I figured I’d share some of the relevant details here, in case you (or someone you know) might be interested in participating!

So, if you like riddles, love language, or just really need to get to Ireland, be sure to share this advert!

On Thursday, January 19th, there’ll be an info session at l’Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), with the competition itself happening at the end of this month. No previous training is needed, but a love of puzzles definitely helps!
