Special prize for transformer stations
There were two prizewinners among the six entrants. The first prize went to Wald-Grundschule with Crazy Galaxy - Zukunft [Crazy Galaxy - Future], while Sancta Maria Schule der Hedwigschwestern (Steglitz-Zehlendorf) took second place with Freiheit [Freedom].
Public prize for junction boxes
Berlin residents had the chance to cast their votes for their favourite junction boxes online over a period of 10 days. Three designs were in the running for a long time, but Die Tiere im Sonnenuntergang [Animals at Sunset] from Eckener-Gymnasium (Tempelhof-Schöneberg) ultimately came out on top. The winning group will receive a team outing to the cinema with popcorn.
