Join us for the German Studies Excellence Award celebration.
The German Studies Excellence Award at MIT, sponsored by Global Languages and MIT-Germany/MISTI, was started in 1997 to honor students of German in each academic year who exhibit unusually strong skills and effort in the study of German language and cultures in classes at MIT.
A grand first prize as well as other prizes celebrating students at various proficiency levels will be awarded.
Students in MIT German classes in AY 2026 are invited to submit a piece of written work demonstrating original and creative excellence in German Studies. The writing sample should be a short essay, poem, or a writing assignment that was completed for a German course in either the Fall, IAP, or Spring semesters of AY 2026. Entries must be made by April 17, 2026, to be considered.
Call for Submission!
The awards will be presented at a ceremony on Tuesday, April 28, at 5pm in 4-249.
