Contest

Dear MADSEN fans, thank you so much for sending in your videos. We were amazed by the quality of the clips and the amount of work you must have put into producing them. It was an incredibly tough decision selecting the winning clips and we wish we had more prizes to give away!

But we also think that “Lass die Liebe regieren” deserves to be the Grand Prize winner. We absolutely loved the group effort and the joyful spirit of everybody involved. So congratulations to the German program at Fayetteville-Manlius High School , N.Y.
