Anna Seghers Preis is a literary prize of Germany. The prize goes back to the German writer Anna Seghers (1900–1983), who stated in her testament that the revenues from her work should be used to encourage promising young writers. The award is endowed with 25,000 euros, to be awarded in equal parts to an author from the German and the Latin American region. The prize has been awarded since 1986 by the Akademie der Künste der DDR, in 1994 by the Academy of Arts, Berlin, and since 1995 by the Anna Seghers Foundation. Each year, the board of the Anna Seghers Foundation names prominent representatives of cultural life as jurors to independently select the two winners.
