Junction box styling 2020

Junction box styling has taken place for the eleventh time in 2020 and all school and project spaces was been filled. We are delighted that so many of Berlin's younger inhabitants are taking an interest and brightening the city with their creatively designed junction boxes. The price giving ceremony of the competition “Most creative junction box 2020” will take place as part of the festive conclusion of the junction box styling.

Due to the high number of applications to take part in our competition we have three categories that the young artists can compete in with their classes, groups or projects. Please note the separate information in the documents.

Depending on the overall number of entrants, Stromnetz Berlin may, if necessary, make a pre-selection of entries to go forward to be judged by the jury.

The categories in the "Most creative junction box 2020" competition

1. Classic prize for junction boxes

School classes, associations and groups can each submit an entry for this prize with one of their designed junction boxes. It is important that the group or class still exists at the time of the prize giving, so that the prize money can be given to the whole group. The three classes/groups with the winning boxes will be awarded EUR 500 each for their class/group kitty.

2. Special prize "Projects" for junction boxes

Any young artists who designed their junction box as part of a group or holiday project can enter for this prize. Project participants who designed their junction boxes with their class in the second semester of the 6th or 10th grade also fall into this category. The teams with the three winning boxes in this category will receive vouchers for online-shops.

3. Special prize for transformer stations

As part of painting projects, transformer stations are acquiring colorful designs as well as junction boxes. This is why we are awarding a special prize for the most creative transformer station. The winning team will also receive vouchers.

Public prize for junction boxes

As a highlight all Berlin inhabitants can select their favorite junction box on Instagram Stromkastenberlin. Junction boxes in the "classic prize" and "projects special prize" categories will be entered automatically (either all or a pre-chosen selection, depending on the total number of entrants). 

The prize giving ceremony

The prize giving ceremony has taken place in the afternoon on 28 January 2021. A limited number of artists from each category was invited (either all artists, or those whose entries were chosen at the pre-selection stage, depending on the overall number of entrants). The relevant teams will receive invitations in early November.

The Jury

Depending on the overall number of entrants, Stromnetz Berlin may, if necessary, make a pre-selection of entries to go forward to be judged by the jury.

The jury then selects the winner from these suggestions. Members include: artists, representatives from Stromnetz Berlin GmbH, representatives from Stromnetz Berlin GmbH's Customer Advisory Board, children and young people and representatives from the world of politics.

The idea for the design and overall implementation are judged.
