Bauhaus in Your House: DAAD North America Photo Contest

2016 marks the 90th anniversary of the iconic Bauhaus in Dessau, which to this day symbolizes one of the most influential schools of art, architecture and design of the 20th century. Bauhaus stood at the forefront of avant-garde modernism, incorporating artistic creativity into the process of mass-production with the goal of experimenting and problem solving for a modern industrial society. This functional approach to design gained popularity around the world, and Bauhaus products continue to be reproduced even today.

Taking this UNESCO World Heritage Site in Dessau as a starting point, DAAD North America is launching a photo contest where we invite you to examine your everyday environment for elements of Bauhaus, whether it be a building, an artwork, housewares, or anything in between. Share a photo of the object and describe how it represents Bauhaus to you in 3 sentences or fewer.

All contestants must be currently enrolled in a degree program at a US or Canadian institution of higher education.

The deadline for submissions is May 6, 2016.

DAAD contest rules apply.

Grand Prize: a round-trip flight to Germany (please see contest rules for maximum value)
Second Prize: GoPro action camera
Third Prize: a one year subscription to bauhaus – the magazine of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation.

For additional information or to submit an entry, please visit our contest page.
