OffSpring Award 2025 – „Wandel“ Ein Wettbewerb für junge Schreibende. Mit Kaleb Erdmann und Anneke Kim Sarnau

We encounterchange in countless facets: be it a change of heart, concern about climate change or the discovery of our own changeability. The path to adulthood in particular is characterized by constantly changing life circumstances. For the OffSpring Award 2025, we are looking for literary transformations: Interested young writers (aged 16-26) can submit texts on the topic of "change" (max. 10,000 characters including spaces) to offspringaward@litcologne.de by January 5, 2025. Our expert jury will select the three nominees, who can work on their texts at a writing workshop with the professional support of author Kaleb Erdmann ("wir sind pioniere"). On the lit.COLOGNE stage, they will report from the writing workshop and Anneke Kim Sarnau will present their texts. The audience will decide who wins the OffSpring Award 2025! Moderator: Charleen Florijn
