Can you read some German?

Here’s the Link to a bbw press publication dated Thursday 12th January 2017:

Heute ist sie 10 Jahre jung: Die bbw Hochschule

And this is our quote of interest:

Das schönste Geburtstagsgeschenk machte sich die Hochschule mit einem Buddy Bären, der in den kommenden vier Wochen nach einem internen Ideenwettbewerb gestaltet werden soll. Der Siegerentwurf wird mit einem Gutschein gekürt. Die Bemalung nimmt dann ein Künstler vor.

If you can’t read any German, let’s have a try and use Google Translate, Microsoft Translator [1] and two more online offerings.

Following https://translate.google.com/ this means:

The most beautiful birthday gift was the university with a buddy bear, which is to be designed in the coming four weeks after an internal ideas contest. The winning design is awarded with a voucher. The painting is then performed by an artist

Following http://www.bing.com/translator this means:

The most beautiful birthday present became the College with a buddy bears, which is to be made in the coming four weeks after an internal competition. The winning design will be awarded a coupon. An artist then makes the painting

Following babelfish.de this means:

Following http://www.linguatec.net/onlineservices/pt this means:

The most beautiful birthday present made the university to itself with a Buddy Bären which shall be formed after an internal competition of ideas within the next four weeks. The winner outline is chosen with a voucher. An artist then carries out the painting

Did you grasp the sense of this proposal?

If you are a staff member or a student at bbw, are you interested in participating?

Do let me know !

The last day of entry is TODAY, February 24th 2017.

Students, who will decide to participate will get prior support up to the evening of this day to present their proposal in time.

P.S.

Although this news was not published up to this moment, we were told that the last day of entry for the "Buddy-Bear-Contest" was postponed up to March 15th 2017. And then, at 13:24 a Mail popped up with the header saying: "Unser Design-Wettbewerb zur Gestaltung unseres Hochschul-Buddy-Bären geht in die Verlängerung! [...] Neuer Einsendeschluss ist der 15.3. Bis dahin haben alle Studierenden und Hochschulmitarbeiter Zeit, sich am Wettbewerb zu beteiligen. [...] Ziel ist, den Bären am 25.4. bei der nächsten Bachelor- und Master-Feier enthüllen zu können."

This is good "Breaking News", mainly for those, who intended to deliver their proposal before tonight. Now the students have the chance to even present and test the acceptance of a whole bunch of ideas to a larger bbw-audience on March 10th 2017, the day of the final presentation - this is 5 days prior to the new deadline.
