New literature scholarship: Promote young talents in the Alsergrund!
In the Alsergrund there is a significant news for the area of cultural support. From 2025, the existing literary scholarship, which has established itself over the past few years, will be supplemented by a special youth offer. With this expansion, a fresh wind is brought to the literature promotion in the 9th district.
The “Alsergrund Literatur scholarship” is an initiative that aims to support aspiring writers. Every year, talented authors who are older than 26 have received a funding of 4,200 euros over a period of six months. This support will remain in the coming year. In order to apply, interested parties have to submit an synopsis and a sample that have a reference to the Alsergrund district.

Recently there will be a literature award for people between the ages of 18 and 25 in addition to this scholarship. Here young talents can apply with a completed literary text, be it a short story, a poem or an essay. A reference to the Alsergrund district is also required in this competition.
The winners are selected by an independent jury. In total, prize money of 1,200 euros will be available for up to three winners. The submissions must be sent by email to post@bv09.wien.gv.at, whereby the deadline for submission falls on January 17th
The district boss Saya Ahmad (SPÖ) expressed her motivation behind this initiative: "As the district, we want to inspire and support young talents for literature." Ahmad is particularly important to encourage underrepresented groups, such as women or people with a migration background, to actively participate. "We look forward to your texts," she adds, and invites all aspiring authors to participate.
The decision for these programs represents a valuable contribution to the cultural landscape in Vienna and offers young people the opportunity to develop and show their literary skills. Further information can be found in a report
