Menzel Prize
The Menzel Prize was a prize for German illustrators. It was awarded around 1900 by the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung for the best drawing of the year that had appeared in the Berliner Illustrirten Zeitung .
The prize, endowed with 3,000 marks, was probably named after Adolph Menzel , a Berlin painter and draftsman. Founder of the prize was Carl Schnebel , for the Berliner Illustrierte newspaper chief editor (editor in chief) and press illustrator . In 1911 the jury for the award consisted of Max Liebermann , Arthur Kampf , Franz Kruse , Carl Schnebel and Georg Hermann .
The Menzel Prize should not be confused with the Adolph Menzel Prize of the Berlin Royal Academy of the Arts, which was awarded to German painters.
