The talk will discuss youth contests as a specific phenomenon of the 20th and 21st century. Germany is a case in point: Youth contests flourished in Nazi Germany, the socialist GDR,
and the capitalist Federal Republic of Germany alike. Using Germany as an example, the presentation will shed light on the similarities and continuities but also the differences and
ruptures in the history of youth contests. In this perspective, youth contests appear as a training ground for competitiveness and performance orientation, but also as the highly attractive promise of a meritocratic social order.
