In the frame of the initiative IMAGINE DIGNITY, the Austrian Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs and the Austrian Literature Society (ÖGfL) are conducting a new writing competition. Essays and literary prose are to be written on the subject of “Humankind / Nature / Artificial Intelligence: What Kind of World Do We Want to Inhabit in 2040?”

Writers* who live and work in Austria or who have Austrian citizenship, regardless of their place of residence, are eligible to submit their texts. In order to promote international literary contacts, applicants are also expected to nominate an international writer* (i.e. not living in Austria and not holding Austrian citizenship) whom they propose to write an independent essay or literary prose text on the above-mentioned subject of the competition and from whom they have already obtained the willingness at the time of submission to also write an essay or literary prose text on the subject if the submission in question is successful.

The submitting writers selected by the jury and the international authors nominated by them will each receive a remuneration of € 2,000 for their texts. The nomination of writers* from EU candidate countries and the focus countries of Austrian foreign culture is particularly welcomed.

Submission deadline: 22 October 2023
