To be part of the 'open mike'! - This is the wish of many young authors in this country. Because the most important literary competition for young authors, which is held annually in Berlin, is regarded as a "door opener" and "talent shed". Whoever wins here gets a foot in the literary business. For many a career, the 'open mike' was a real starting shot. In any case, the winners first set off for Vienna, Frankfurt and Berne to read from and talk about their prize-winning texts. The fact that the prize-winning group of travellers is making a stopover at the Literaturforum this year is a first. How fortunate that the pub in the Mousonturm has a wide selection of drinks to toast.
