The Max Frisch Prize of the City of Zürich, created in 1996, is usually awarded every four years to writers in German-speaking countries.[1] The prize is named after the Swiss writer Max Frisch (1911–1991).[2] The literary award is endowed with a prize sum of 50,000 Swiss francs.[1] In 2018, an additional sponsorship award (Förderpreis) endowed with 10,000 Swiss francs was introduced in order to be able to support writers of the younger generation as well.[3][4][5] The award honors authors whose work addresses fundamental issues of democratic society in an artistically uncompromising manner.[4] The Max Frisch Foundation at ETH Zürich is responsible for judging and determining the winners.[5] The City of Zürich is financing the award and its hosting.[5][6]
