DW has launched a new contest to accompany Big City Nights – the Scorpions documentary that will be released in 2013. Participants will have a chance to win an original Gibson Flying V, autographed by the Scorpions, one of four “Scorpions Live in 3D” DVDs or one of two signed “Comeblack” albums.

The contest will run until January 15, 2012. So if you think you have what it takes to win, go to the Big City Nights blog and enter!

You only miss it, when it’s gone. Your homeland. But what is it? Is it a country? A feeling? Watch our series “Coming Home” and tell us what “home” means to you!

In our series “Coming Home”, DW accompanies people as they make their way home. Their personal road movies will shed light on the aspects of life that they have found in Germany – and what they have missed. People have different ideas and different opinions about what “home” means. We want to know what you associate with your “homeland”. We will be publishing them at dw-world.de/cominghome.

UPDATE: The contest is over and a selection of entries have been published  at dw-world.de/cominghome.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and Deutsche Welle is remembering how this one day would change the world forever. With  9/11 and the global consequences, DW brings you insights and opinions from around the world. DW’s editorial team is also looking for your input – How did 9/11 change your life or worldview? Submit  your thoughts, photos (with short descriptions), or both.

The final round of winners has been selected for the German Connection Quiz. DW thanks all of those who participated. Make sure you keep an eye out for the next DW promotion – coming soon.
