The Oxford German Network have launched the 13th edition of its annual German Olympiad! The competition will run between now and March 2025 with winners being announced in the summer.

This year’s topic is “Immer unterwegs – Mobilität und Reiselust“. 

There are a variety of different challenges aimed at pupils in Years 5 and 6 all the way to Years 12 and 13. Some are for individuals to enter, others are aimed at groups. There is even a taster competition for pupils who have never studied German before! From creating maps and cartoons, to recording a podcast, there’s something for everyone!

Take a look at the Olympiad website for further practical information and more details about the tasks.

The closing date for all entries is Thursday 12 March 2026. Any questions can be directed to the Olympiad Coordinator, Eva, at: olympiad@mod-langs-ox.ac.uk

We are looking forward to receiving lots of entries!
