English term or phrase: younger/junior
Hi,

I have another dilemma. I am translating a text about a musical competition for young people, and would appreciate some revision on this:
1st category, competitors up to 10 years of age and younger. or
1st category, competitors up to 10 years of age and junior.
I would personally like to eliminate Younger/junior because I feel it to be redundant together with "up to"

Thanks for your help!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Charles Davis: Yes indeed, and "up to 10" includes those who are 10 (or so I understand it). You have to be very careful when formulating rules for a competition!

  -> Thanks, Charles, there is a minimal possibility that junior has another meaning here (category), but that doesn't seem to be case from the text Martina has shared with us.
agree  Suzan Hamer: I agree about the redundancy, but "up to 10" can be interpreted to mean "up to but not including those of 10 years of age", so I would think "competitors 10 years old and younger" might eliminate any confusion.//I agree; check with the client.

  -> Thanks, Suzan, you have a point. Martina should check with the organizers about the precise meaning of the age bracket and eliminate whichever redundancy doesn't fit the situation. Good thinking!
