Take part

You have a heart's desire? You know someone who deserves a surprise? Or you have an idea for a special campaign? Then you're in the right place. 💛

Good to know before you start

  • Taking part is free – no strings attached.
  • We read every story, but we cannot make every wish come true.
  • The more personally you explain why the wish matters, the better.
  • Photos or videos are optional, but they help us get to know you.
What would you like to submit?
About you

You can submit from age 16. If you are younger, another person aged at least 16 must submit the proposal.

The story

For a nomination, please do not include personal information about the nominee in the text or uploads.

Allowed: JPG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV. Uploads may contain only information and content about you. They are stored with the submission and viewed only internally.

Almost done

By submitting, you send us a non-binding proposal. This creates no entitlement to selection or fulfilment.

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost anything to take part?

No. Submitting a wish or a nomination is completely free – and always will be.

Will every wish come true?

Unfortunately not. We read every story but can only make some of them happen. There is no entitlement to fulfilment – but every submission has a real chance.

How are wishes selected?

What matters is how much the moment means to the person – not the price. Sometimes a small gesture is enough, sometimes it may be a big heart's desire.

Can I stay anonymous?

We need your contact details for the submission. Whether and how you appear in a video is something we discuss together beforehand – nothing is published without your consent.

I'm under 18 – can I take part?

From age 16 you can submit yourself. If you are younger, another person aged at least 16 must submit the proposal. Before any possible fulfilment involving a minor, we obtain all required separate consents.

What happens to my data and videos?

Your data is transmitted encrypted, stored on servers in Germany and only used to process your submission. Submissions that are not selected are deleted after 6 months at the latest. Details are in the privacy policy.

Can I nominate someone without them knowing?

Yes. Please do not provide the nominee’s personal information. We initially contact only you and clarify everything else only if the proposal is pursued.
