a price with tradition
The Austrian Children's and Youth Book Prize has established itself as an important institution in the Austrian literary scene over the decades. Not only to name excellent works, but also to promote them in the school framework, is a central component of the price. The winners take part in readings and workshops in schools, which are organized by the Mattersburg Literature House. This is done with the intention of inspiring children and adolescents for reading and promoting their own creativity.
It becomes particularly exciting when a school class is co -determined when choosing the youth prize. This year the 1A of the Eco Middle School Anton-Baumgartner-Straße from Vienna selected its favorite book under the submitted titles. The youth prize impressively shows how important it is that young readers are included in the process of literature award.
