"Kulturhauptstädter" wanted!

The city of Essen and the Ruhrgebiet are the Capital of Culture 2010. However, what is it like to live in Dortmund and Essen? What's special about Bochum or why is Duisburg worth a visit. On www.kulturhauptstaedte.net you will find the answers starting March 15.

2010 is a very special year for the city of Essen and the Ruhrgebiet because the whole region is the Capital of Culture 2010. Twelve month of partying with the DAAD joining in. On March 15 we will start the blog "kulturhauptstaedte.net", made for all foreign students, who are currently living in the Ruhrgebiet and who would like to share their experience with others.

Participate and win a t-shirt and a voucher

Whether you write, film, photograph or podcast doesn't matter as long as your entry shows your point of view on the Capital of Culture.

Even before the official start of the blog you can submit your contributions already to studyin(AT)daad.de. The earlier the better because the first 100 participants will receive a limited "Kulturhauptstädter"-T-Shirt, which can't be bought anywhere.

Also, the users of the blog will vote for the best contribution every month. The winner will get a voucher woth 50 Euros for Amazon.

We are looking forward to your contribution! Show us your Capital of Culture!
