Axel Eggebrecht Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Axel Eggebrecht Prize was donated in 2006 by the Media Foundation of the Stadt- und Kreissparkasse Leipzig . In memory of the feature author Axel Eggebrecht, this radio feature prize is intended to honor the oeuvre of authors who “have made a contribution to the radio feature”.

The Axel Eggebrecht Prize is endowed with 10,000 euros and is awarded every two years, alternating with the Günter Eich Prize (for a radio play oeuvre), which is also donated at the same time .

The current jury includes Richard Goll (jury chair), Jens Jarisch (Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg), Ulrike Toma (Norddeutscher Rundfunk), Linde Rotta and Aldo Gardini (formerly SRF).

The award ceremony takes place as part of the media foundation's summer party on the foundation's own "Mediencampus Villa Ida" in Leipzig and is usually broadcast by MDR Figaro .

The first prize winner in 2008 was the feature author Helmut Kopetzky, who lives in Fulda . In 2010 the award went to the "Austrian radio pioneers" Richard Goll and Alfredreiber , and in 2012 to the Saarbrücken feature author Friedrich Schütze-Quest . In addition, an Axel Eggebrecht Prize of Honor, also endowed with 10,000 euros, was awarded to Peter Leonhard Braun this year. In 2014 Paul Kohl received the Axel Eggebrecht Prize. He was followed in 2016 by feature writer Margot Overath . The Austrian feature author Alfred Koch is the 2018 Axel Eggebrecht Prize winner.
