GDCh award for journalists and writers
The GDCh Prize for Journalists and Writers is an award that has been given at irregular intervals since 1980 by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh) to people who have made subject-specific problems and solutions in chemistry transparent to the public through their literary work.
Since 1997, the award has been given alternately to journalists and writers . Since 2008, the invitation to tender has been aimed at writers and journalists at the same time. In addition to a certificate, the prize includes prize money of 7500 euros.
