Toiletten machen Schule – Competition

Toilets Make School® – 2026/2027 competition

Save the School Restroom! Our fourth Toilets Make School® contest kicks off on November 5, 2026.

No soap, no toilet paper, just foul odors: For many, school restrooms are a place best avoided. It’s time for a change! We’re looking for schools that will take a close look at their restrooms, analyze the problems, and come up with ideas for turning the school restroom into a place where everyone feels comfortable. To do this, form a restroom team: Students, teachers, school social workers, parents, school administrators, custodians, and cleaning staff—everyone has a role to play. You’ll find tips, methods, and resources to help you reach your goals step by step on our support portal.

Who can participate?
All schools in Germany, whether elementary or secondary. Any school can submit a proposal.

And what can you win?
The three best proposals will each be awarded €2,500*. In addition, there are special prizes worth up to €500* to be won. We’ll invite selected winning teams to Berlin in June 2027 for the awards ceremony.

Key Dates:
Start: November 5, 2026
Submission Deadline: March 19, 2027, 11:59 p.m.
Awards ceremony: June 2027 in Berlin
