Rheinischer Literaturpreis Siegburg
The Rheinische Literaturpreis Siegburg , founded by Jochen Arlt , has been promoting authors from the Rhenish region since 1995. The culture committee of the council of the city of Siegburg determines each year which topic and tender procedure are used as a basis for the selection of the authors. The winner will then be determined by a jury of experts. The literary prize is endowed with 5,000 euros and is awarded during the Siegburg Literature Weeks that take place in November .
