Central Berlin for a year – your apartment, your story

The Construction work in the central Berlin borough of Mitte was completed in 1952, and this architecturally stunning area,
which includes Karl-Marx-Allee, shows the residential heritage of DDR socialism at its best.
Mitte’s twentieth-century modernism seems totally in step with the twenty-first century city around it.
In recent years, it has become an extremely fashionable neighbourhood, attacting people with their finger
on the cultural pulse, and we are offering a unique opportunity to experience that exclusive world from the inside:

A rent-free apartment for a year at the coolest
spot in Berlin – authoring the Eastern Blog!

So, how do you enter? Simple – we want you to write an essay that will not only impress our jury but also make a great
entry on the blog. We want stories – big or small, but always exciting – and they must be about daily life in the neighbourhood.
