I think you've made a mistake there.
The signature was removed as it was too awesome for mortals to live through.It has already destroyed 35 super computers . We have to make sure it is not used for serial killings and mass-murders.Please don't use words that can kill the mortals by it's awesomeness.

That is indeed cool. I wish I could have tried :'D New York, New York seems interesting :'D I liked the translation and the quotes from the judges. It'd be interesting to asee a comparison with other translations. I didn't read the other 2, but the level seems pretty top-notch. Every time I think translating wouldn't that hard and then I end up with sentences no normal human being would say and I cry :'D

This was quite interesting to follow and I feel like I learned something just by reading what the judges wrote. Thanks for organizing this once again.

Do any of the winners have accounts here? :)

I'm not sure. Since most people try to keep their online/real lives separate, we'll probably never know.

I wonder if any winner ever paid a professional translator to ghost translate for them. If it costs less than the amount to go to Tokyo + free spending money than profit made.
