Georg-Christoph-Lichtenberg-Preis
The Georg-Christoph-Lichtenberg-Preis is an arts prize of Hesse. It is awarded biannually for literature and the visual arts on a rotating basis by the district of Darmstadt-Dieburg. The winner receives a certificate as well as a donation of 10,000 euros, though it is possible for the prize money to be split evenly between two winners. A committee of fourteen jurors evaluates qualified submissions; all themes or literary genres are accepted.
The prize is named after Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, the Enlightenment physics professor and writer who was born in Ober-Ramstadt.
