What moves young Thuringians?
That's what the Eobanus Hessus writing competition is all about. Anyone between the ages of 15 and 35 who lives in Thuringia can take part in the competition with prose texts or poems. The main thing is that the writing is self-penned. The winners of the main and sponsorship prizes will now be given a stage at the Erfurt Spring Reading where they can read their texts aloud and talk to Julia Maronde. Anyone who would like to hear new, young voices from Thuringia and award the sweet ramp sow for the best reading performance of the evening is cordially invited to attend.

Sponsored by the City of Erfurt
Other partners include Sparkasse Mittelthüringen, the Hugendubel bookshop, the Literarische Gesellschaft Thüringen, the Thüringer Literaturrat and the Thüringen Writers' Association. As a media partner, the "Thüringer Allgemeine" provides the necessary publicity.

Moderation: Julia Maronde
