The Swiss Book Prize highlights outstanding books and their authors every year. The award strengthens the visibility of contemporary Swiss literature and provides orientation in the diverse book year. As a sponsor, we support this important contribution to the literary landscape.
The Swiss Book Prize has been honoring contemporary German-language literature from Switzerland for many years. Every year, several titles are nominated that stand out either in content or language and shape the literary conversation in the country. The award ceremony takes place during BuchBasel and is one of the closely followed events of the literary year. Around the Swiss Book Prize, conversations, media reports, and public discussions emerge that open up perspectives on new books and provide authors with significantly greater visibility. The nominated works are increasingly featured in bookstores, media, and events, thereby reaching a broad audience. We support the Swiss Book Prize as a sponsor because it makes the literary diversity of Switzerland visible and gives important voices space. Today, the prize is an integral part of the Swiss literary landscape and helps ensure that outstanding books receive the attention they deserve.
The Swiss Book Voucher is actively involved in promoting the book trade and literature. Every year, we support numerous events and projects that celebrate the diversity and importance of reading. Here you will find a selection of our support projects that help to keep the world of books alive and spread the joy of reading.
