Two DW productions won three prizes at the 16^th international Eyes and Ears Awards last week in Munich.

DW’s musical documentary, The Highest Level, which takes audiences behind the scenes at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, won two awards: A first prize in the category, “Creation, innovation and effectiveness” and a third prize in the “Best program related audio design” category.  The promotion for Germany by scooter won second prize in the category “On-air program campaign: information.”

DW’s resident international travel guru has a new adventure lined up for our lifestyle show Euromaxx. The roving reporter will be riding a scooter through Germany from north to south, covering 2,473 kilometers along the way. Germany by Scooter will start airing in August but you can get a sneak peek today.

Wigge has become somewhat of an obscure star in the past year. He has been featured on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno (alongside Katy Perry) as well as on the Huffington Post.
