Subject: DAAD 2009 Video Contest: Breaking Down the Walls
Dear colleagues,
DAAD is delighted to invite students and matriculated scholars to explore themes relating to walls and Germany, as part of our 2009 video contest entitled "Breaking Down Walls."
2009 is the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. We'd like to use this occasion to get students to think about walls in the context of Germany: types of walls, what they signify, how they're built - and how they are torn down. The DAAD video contest fosters a variety of possible topics from a diverse field of disciplines. We welcome entries in all areas.
The grand prize is one (1) round-trip ticket to Berlin. Second and Third Prizes will be awarded, as well. The top three videos will be posted to DAAD's website and be burned to DVDs that DAAD will distribute to students and study abroad professionals.
We invite you to share this unique opportunity with your students, departments and fellow colleagues. Application instructions and a list of the rules and requirements for the competition can be found at: www.daad.org/page/video/
Please direct questions to us via email at video@daad.org or telephone (212) 758-3223 x214.
Submissions must be received by Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 and will be judged by an international jury of experts. Winners will be announced on May 1st.
Kind regards,
Peter
