The Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Shanghai held a Fairy Tale Writing Competition on Dec. 6, 2013. Goethe-Jinchuang Language Centre sponsored the contest and provided four third prize winners with a winter vacation course (alternatively a weekend intensive course).

On the occasion of Chinese-German Language Year 2013, the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Shanghai held the national fairy tale writing competition. The participants had to rewrite one of three classic stories in Grimm’s Fairy Tales and restage it in a setting in modern time. On that particular night, many of the finalists came all the long way from other cities to Shanghai. The setup of their performance varied between recitation, drama, theatre and even a creative micro film.
