Landschreiber competition
The Landschreiber-Competition is an international language and literature prize that is linked to a stay in an author's residence on the North Sea . The competition was announced for the first time in 2012. It was conceived and set up by the German scholar Klaus Siewert . The patron of the competition is the non-profit International Society for Special Language Research (IGS) .
target
The competition aims to encourage reflection on language and its literary transformation. Reflection and transformation are aimed at a contemporary relevant topic (see section “Topics”). The literary process is intended to make people aware of the essential features as well as the limits and possibilities of language and create a special literary culture resulting from them. Another concern of the competition is to find and support young, as yet unknown authors.
subjects
The central theme of the competition is the German language as a metalanguage and object language. Annual themes provide the framework:
- 2012/2013: With language on language
