Have you heard of a “Schifffahrtskapitänsmütze” before? Probably not. It is a compound word, which German is especially suited for, meaning “marine captains’ hat”. Compounds create new, more descriptive words by combining two or more existing ones.

Now it is up to you to become part of the living German language and expand its vocabulary by inventing a new German compound word! Submit it via this form by November 30, 2014, and you could be the winner of one of these amazing prizes:

• 1st Place: 1 iPad Air
• 2nd–4th Places: 1 iPod shuffle (each)
• 5th–15th Places: 1 Amazon gift card ($25 each)

Entries will be judged on creativity, originality, length, and your description of your work.

Deadline is November 30th, 2014. The contest is open to all U.S. residents.
