Friedrich Glauser Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Glauser Prize, 2014

The abbreviated Glauser called Friedrich Glauser Prize is adjacent to the German Thriller Prize of the most important crime rate in Germany. It is named after the Swiss writer Friedrich Glauser (1896–1938), who is considered the first German-language crime writer .

The prize has been awarded annually since 1987 in several categories by the Syndikat , the group of authors of German-language crime literature founded in 1986 on the initiative of Fred Breinersdorfer and Peter Schmidt , with 750 members (as of February 2018). The most popular award is given for the best detective novel of the year in German and is endowed with 5000 euros.

The other categories include the Ehrenglauser , who honors a person's special merits in German-language crime literature. Non-authors can also receive the award (e.g. critics, literary scholars, etc.). The prize has been a bronze figure designed by the Bulgarian artist Mincho Minev since 2006. In the years before, the artists Waldemar Otto and Dieter Bohnet designed the figure.

Since 2002, the Friedrich Glauser Prize has also been awarded in the categories debut novel , endowed with 1,500 euros, and crime short story , endowed with 1,000 euros. From 2000 to 2019 , Das Syndikat also awarded the Hansjörg Martin Prize to the best children's or young adult crime thriller, endowed with 2,500 euros. Since 2020, this category has been split up and renamed the Glauser Prize for the best children's crime and the Glauser Prize for the best youth crime , each endowed with 2000 euros. The award ceremonies take place every year in alternating cities at the syndicate's big crime event, the Criminale .

Selection process

The annual plenary meeting of the syndicate takes place at the Criminale, at which the new juries for the various categories and the jury of the syndicate - for the Ehrenglauser - are chosen ( see below for the special features of the Hansjörg-Martin-Preis ). The juries usually consist of five authors with voting rights and the jury secretary, whereby the winner of the respective category counts as a member of the new jury (exception: jury members). Publications from the year to be assessed by jury members themselves cannot be suggested. The ongoing exchange between the jury members is coordinated by the jury secretaries of the syndicate, who are also responsible for chairing the jury meetings. Immediately after the annual Criminale, they inform all crime publishers, press etc. about the announcement of the prize. At the same time, the advertisement will be published on the syndicate's website. All thrillers can be submitted that appeared in the original edition in the previous year and that are sent by an announced deadline for the year. The juries meet early in the New Year to select the five nominees, including the winner.

Hansjörg Martin Prize - Children's and youngsters' crime prize

The Hansjörg-Martin-Preis was the award for children's and youth criminal literature of the “authors' group of German-language crime literature” - The Syndicate . The prize was awarded from 2000 to 2019 in memory of the crime writer Hansjörg Martin , who died in 1999 . In 2020 it was split up and renamed the Glauser Prize for the best children's crime novel and the Glauser Prize for the best youth crime novel , each endowed with 2000 euros.

Selection process

The jury consists of four authors and the jury secretary. The jury secretary is responsible for the coordination between the jury members and the management of the meetings.

In addition, there is a “children and youth jury”, which is supervised by a jury member and currently consists of four children or young people. Authors who, in private or professional contexts, deal with children and adolescents who love to read and write are primarily considered to lead the youth jury. The deliberations in this jury take place independently. In recent years, mainly young people have worked here who are involved in writing groups in their free time, i.e. who deal with literature beyond reading. The close proximity of the young people allows regular meetings, exchanges and evaluations of the book material available up to then.

At the beginning of each year, the jury and the jury for children and young people meet for a joint meeting where the decision is made on the five nominees, one of whom is the final winner. The members of the children and youth jury have full voting rights .
