On 19 December 1965 Henri Nannen, the editor-in-chief of the magazine stern, called for the first round of a new competition, Jugend forscht, Youth Researches. His motto was Wir suchen die Forscher von morgen! We are looking for the researchers of tomorrow. Young people up to the age of 21 can take part. Today more than 10,000 participate each year, with more than 5,000 projects. By 2015 more than 236,000 young researchers had taken part. The national winners receive a prize from the Federal President for the most exceptional work and a prize from the Federal Chancellor for the most original work.
