Kurt Tucholsky Prize (Germany)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kurt Tucholsky Prize is a German award for literary journalism .

The Kurt Tucholsky Prize for "committed and linguistically concise works of literary journalism" was first awarded in 1995 and has been awarded every two years since 1997 by the Kurt Tucholsky Society and (until 2003) the Kurt Tucholsky Foundation to journalists and publicists who are “committed to 'small forms' such as essays , satire , songs , grotesque , treatises or pamphlets . [...] Your texts should serve the reality check in the sense of Tucholsky, uncover backgrounds and help the reader to come to a critical judgment ”.

The prize was donated on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Kurt Tucholsky's death and was endowed with 3000 euros until 2013. The endowment has been 5000 euros since 2015. The Kurt Tucholsky Foundation contributed to the financing of the award for the last time in 2003.
