Polls Closing Soon for Our "BAUHAUS in Your House" Photo Contest!


Just a few days remain in our ‪"BAUHAUS‬ in Your House" photo contest! The voting period ends this Thursday, June 30th at midnight (EST). If you haven't voted yet, click the "Photo Contest" tab on our Facebook page or visit https://www.daad.org/bauhauscontest to choose the photo that best reflects Bauhaus to you. Stay tuned, as we will be announcing the winners in next week's newsletter. Good luck to our finalists and happy voting!

Inspired by the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Bauhaus School in Dessau, DAAD North America's photo contest invited the public to examine their everyday environment for elements of Bauhaus, whether it be a building, an artwork, housewares, or anything in between. Each photo is accompanied by an explanation of how it represents Bauhaus to the entrant.
