Major Berlin Publishing Prize goes to Voland & Quist

"Using independence to make new points of view public"

"Diversity of opinion is the lifeblood of democracy," said Berlin's Senator for Culture Joe Chialo (CDU). "It needs structures in which perspectives can develop and in which free discourse is possible. People who use their independence creatively and decisively to make new perspectives public are committed to this."

The Berlin Publishing Prize is intended to recognize the great achievements of smaller, independent publishers, "who often publish books at a high economic risk and are passionately committed to literature," said Franziska Giffey (SPD), Senator for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises.

The Berlin Publishing Prize has been awarded by the Senate Department for Culture in cooperation with the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels Landesverband Berlin-Brandenburg to publishers based in Berlin since 2018. Last year, Edition Tiamat, Interkontinental Verlag and Lukas Verlag were awarded the prize.
