Ingeborg Bachmann Prize 2021
The Ingeborg Bachmann Prize 2021 is the 45th competition for the literature prize as part of the Days of German-Language Literature .
history
The event took place from June 16-20 , 2021 . The reading competition was carried out in the ORF regional studio in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee due to the corona pandemic in a hybrid format: the jurors met for their discussions without an audience in the studio, while the readings were recorded and played in advance, as in 2020.

criticism
The author Heike Geißler criticized the work of individual jury members in an interview with Deutschlandfunk Kultur . The discussion about her contribution was "unfair and not related to the text at all". That would have been the least the jury should have done, "especially when you are so prominent". Philipp Tingler's comment that he could write a text like hers “just during the lunch break” was “absurd”. It was "adventurous" for her to be part of the competition.
