Walter Serner Prize
The Walter Serner Prize for short stories has been advertised since the mid-1970s. At first it was awarded by the broadcaster Free Berlin alone. In 1996 and 1997 the Berliner Zeitung took part . The Kulturradio award (until 2003 Radio Kultur) has been advertised by Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg together with the Literaturhaus Berlin . It is endowed with 5000 euros (in 2018 the prize money was divided). The winning text will be broadcast by rbb on Kulturradio.
The jury currently includes Anne-Dore Krohn and Salli Sallmann from the rbb, Ernest Wichner and Lutz Dittrich from the Literaturhaus, as well as an additional writer each year as a guest juror.
The writer Walter Serner (1889–1942) was considered a literary enfant terrible and a brilliant observer of social conditions. The competition entries should be written in its tradition - that is, tell in the broadest sense "About life in the big cities".
