We thank all debaters, judges, volunteers and staff for a wonderful competition!
Dear all,
we have recently been informed by the youth hostel that the city of Heidelberg introduced an overnight city tax on October 1, 2025. Unfortunately, this information was not communicated to us beforehand, which is why the tax was not included in our original billing.
As a result, the youth hostel is now required to charge this tax retroactively, and we therefore unfortunately have to request the corresponding amount from teams after the event. This means we will need to issue a second invoice for the city tax.
The tax only applies to guests aged 16 and older and amounts to €3.50 per person per night.
To calculate the correct amount for each team, we kindly ask team coaches to fill out the form (https://forms.gle/nzcZEYfKrNXHK5jU7) and indicate how many members of their team will be 16 years old by March 22, 2026.
Please include all members of your delegation, regardless of their role:
Debaters
Coaches
Judges
Kindly make sure that every person affiliated with your team who meets the age requirement is included in the total.
Thank you for providing accurate information by MONDAY, 16th MAR 2026.
Best regards
Sunny, Alex, Leander, Atharv, Kavin and Caro
