Georg Kaiser Award

The Georg-Kaiser-Förderpreis was awarded every three years between 1996 and 2014 by the state of Saxony-Anhalt , alternating with the Wilhelm Müller Prize and the Friedrich Nietzsche Prize, to a young author who has distinguished himself by at least one outstanding literary Publication and has a literary or biographical reference to the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
