Admission criteria

The primary admission criterion was birth in the region, including Robert Gernhardt , who was resettled at the age of one , but Paul Fleming and Johann Gottfried Herder are not. The “main place of activity” among immigrants was also taken into account. And authors only temporarily residing in the Baltic States were accepted if they were certified as having a lasting influence on the Baltic States.
