The Alpha Literature Prize 2012

The Alpha Literature Prize is an Austrian literature prize that was launched in 2010 by Casinos Austria together with the Vienna Libraries . The aim of the award is to offer a stage for young Austrian literature. The prize money is 10,000 euros. The prize is awarded once a year in autumn as part of a gala.

The literary prize supports local authors as well as authors who live in Austria or whose works have been published by an Austrian publisher. The submitted book must have appeared in German by the end of the submission deadline in May. In addition, the author concerned may only have published a maximum of three works, including the one submitted, not counting anthology contributions. The age of the submitter does not matter.
