31. open mike – Wettbewerb für junge Literatur

Selected from over 450 entries, young authors take over the stage of the Heimathafen Neukölln for two days and read for the prize of the 31st open mike - competition for young literature. Each:r has 15 minutes to convince the audience and the jury, then an alarm clock rings. In 1993, the first open mike was won by Kathrin Röggla, who will give a keynote speech this year. On this year's competition Sunday, a jury of authors - Shida Bazyar, Senthuran Varantharajah and Anja Zag Golob - will again select three winners and award a total of €7,500 in prize money.
