As every year, the International Relations Directorate of Nuremberg organizes the “Hermann Kesten” Prize, an important media and literary event for journalists and authors representing Nuremberg’s sister cities.
This year the stay will take place from April 26 to May 10, 2014.
The participant (one per city) will be selected based on application after submitting the required documents written in English or German. He/she will receive a scholarship of €500 and will be hosted free of charge by private individuals in Nuremberg during the duration of their stay.
The theme of the project is “street press,” meaning publications produced by professional journalists and sold by the homeless or poor individuals, similar to the magazine “Strassenkreuzer” in Nuremberg (www.strassenkreuzer.info), a member of the international street papers network (www.street-papers.org).
Interested authors and journalists should apply either in English or German via the appropriate office of their city or directly to:
City of Nuremberg, International Relations Office, International Relations Department, to the attention of Ms. Stephanie Wimmer
Hans-Sachs Platz 2 90403 Nuremberg
