Martha Saalfeld sponsorship award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Martha-Saalfeld-Förderpreis is a German literary prize that is to be awarded annually to up to four authors as part of the literary promotion of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate . The prize was donated in 1994 in memory of the South Palatinate poet and novelist Martha Saalfeld (1898–1976) and has replaced the earlier Rhineland-Palatinate work grants.

Modalities

The prize, endowed with a total of € 10,000 (as of 2018), is intended to promote literary works in the making. By 2015 there were four winners, each with € 2500; In 2016, the main prize was € 4,000, the other three winners each received € 2,000. The award ceremony takes place in the second half of the year. In years in which there are too few or no applications worthy of a prize, the award may be wholly or partially omitted. An award-winning applicant cannot apply again.

Eligible are people who were born in or live in Rhineland-Palatinate or who are closely connected to cultural life in Rhineland-Palatinate through their literary work. The application, which must be submitted to the literature department of the Ministry of Education by the deadline, must include a description of the literary project in progress, an extract from it (usually around 15 to 20 typewriter pages) and a detailed bio- bibliography .

decision

After a jury of linguists and literary scholars had to decide on the winners until 2013 , the prize was awarded for the first time in 2014 with the participation of students from the University of Koblenz-Landau , Campus Landau . In several selection rounds, the students agreed on a shortlist of around 15 texts that were presented to the jury. The jury finally selected the winners in dialogue with the students, who were thus involved in the award of a literature prize for the first time in Germany. The audience of the presentation evening has been involved in the selection of the award winners since 2015.

In 2017 and 2018, only three people were honored for the first time. In 2018, a “jury award winner” received prize money of 5,000 euros, while the placement of the two other prizewinners and their endowment of 3,000 and 2,000 euros, respectively, was determined on the basis of a public vote at the public award ceremony.
