For this year’s social media contest, the DAAD is celebrating its 100-year anniversary with #100Years100Postcards! Currently enrolled graduate and undergraduate students are invited to enter for a chance to win a flight to Germany.
This year’s contest is inspired by the commemorative Deutsche Post postage stamp released earlier this year in honor of DAAD’s 100th anniversary. Whether participating in an exchange in 1925, 1975, or 2025, postcards have been an important way for exchange students to keep in touch with friends and loved ones abroad. In that spirit, the DAAD is celebrating its anniversary and the importance of international exchange with #100Years100Postcards!
The first prize winner will win a roundtrip ticket to a destination of their choice in Germany from anywhere in the United States or Canada (up to US$1,700), second prize will receive an online German course at the Goethe-Institut, and third prize will receive a book of their choice by a DAAD alum!
How It Works:
* Select a DAAD alum whose work or exchange story inspires you. This can be someone you’ve met, like a family member or academic mentor, or one of DAAD’s many well-known alumni worldwide. Visit the DAAD Alumni Gallery for ideas!
* Create a postcard inspired by that alum’s story or work. The design may be created using digital or analog methods, but AI-generated images will not be considered.
* On the opposite side of the postcard, write a message to the alum you selected detailing why you chose them for your contest entry.
* Add a stamp and mail your postcard to our DAAD USA team at:
