In 1999, Dr. Carola Gnadt, now principal of the Humboldt-Gymnasium Potsdam, was honoured with an “Outstanding OMER” for her dedicated work as the head interpreter at World Finals. The “Outstanding OMER” was renamed into “OMER’s Award” in 2000.
Dr. Karl-Ernst Plagemann Award
Since 2008, one individual is honoured each year, who – through personal action – has helped develop the “Odyssey of the Mind” program in Germany.
