Merano Poetry Prize


The Merano Poetry Prize is an international literary prize for German-language poetry that was founded by Alfred Gruber, a South Tyrolian catholic priest and writer. The biennial competition was established in 1993 and is awarded by the South Tyrolean provincial government in the city of Merano ever since. In addition to the main award, which is endowed with €8,000, usually two further prizes are awarded, the Alfred Gruber Prize and the Media Prize of the RAI broadcaster South Tyrol.
The Merano Poetry Prize is considered highly prestigious. The Austrian national public broadcaster ORF called it "one of the most important literary competitions in the German-speaking world ".
