Corine (Literature Prize)
The Corine - International Book Prize , as this literary prize was officially called, was awarded on the initiative of the Bavarian State Association in the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels and under the patronage of the Bavarian Prime Minister from 2001 to 2011. The Corine was awarded to German and international "authors for outstanding literary achievements and their recognition by the public" (according to self-portrayal). After eleven years, the award of the award was discontinued in 2011. In 2014 the prize was redesigned and renamed the Bavarian Book Prize .
Criteria / sponsors and partners
The criteria for the award should primarily be "current thematic relevance, quality of content and sales success with the audience". The decisions were made by an independent jury, with the exception of the Weltbild reader award, which up until 2008 came about through a public vote via the Internet. The main partners of the event were Focus , Die Zeit , the Porzellanmanufaktur Nymphenburg , the Waldemar Bonsels Foundation, the Claudio Medien GmbH, the Bavarian State Chancellery and the Bavarian State Association in the German Book Trade Association. In the opinion of the literary critic Sigrid Löffler, the undoped prize was "a Munich media hype, [which] ... but actually had nothing to do with the dignity of a real literary prize".
trophy
The Corine porcelain trophy was created by Franz Anton Bustelli around 1760 and is one of the 16 figures in the Commedia dell'arte group.
