Are you between 5 and 19 years old? Do you love books and stories? Do you like to write? If so, please take part in our competition and get your prose, short story, essay or poem published in the next Foreign Office e‑book!

Do you have a dream for the future – for you, your family or your friends? For your home, your town or your country? For the future of the entire world? Your whole life lies ahead of you – and the world is at your feet. What do you want to do? What do you want to experience? What would you change? How would you go beyond your limits? What hopes do you cherish as you grow up? What fears beset you, if any?

All entries submitted in German or English will be edited by professionals and accepted in the following age groups: 10 years and under, 11‑14 years, and 15‑19 years. The e‑book will be published by the renowned Aufbau Verlag and will be launched at the Federal Foreign Office on 16 August 2020 during the Federal Government Open Day. Prizes will be awarded for the best three texts from each age group. In addition, the Tagesspiegel young reporters will award a special children’s jury prize. The e‑book will then be available to download for free!

This 6th e‑book will build on the success of our previous e‑books, which you can download here for free:

• Mein Zuhause, dein Zuhause
• Ein Planet, viele Welten
• You and I – we are Europe
• One world for you and me
• Friends without frontiers
