Kleist sponsorship award
The Kleist Prize for Young Dramatics is a German literary prize that has been awarded since 1996 for German-language theater texts that are still available for premiere. It is considered one of the most important young talent awards for German-speaking playwrights.
The award of the prize is an integral part of the Kleist Festival, which takes place every October in honor of the Frankfurt (Oder) born poet and playwright Heinrich von Kleist . The applicants for the prize are all authors who are not older than 35 years at the deadline.
The prize, endowed with € 7,500 (as of 2019) and linked to a premiere guarantee, is awarded by the City of Frankfurt (Oder) together with the Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen , the Dramaturgische Gesellschaft and the Frankfurt Exhibition and Event Company .
