A literary finale with stage fever and audience decision

When ten authors present their unpublished texts under the spotlight, literature becomes an immediate stage experience: At the final of the 33rd Haidhauser Workshop Prize, the audience in Gasteig HP8 decides the winner. On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the projector transforms into a concentrated resonance space for prose, poetry, and lively discussions.

Prose and poetry in direct competition

The qualified evening winners of the Open Evenings at the Munich Literature Office compete against each other with ten-minute texts. Short forms meet diverse voices, rhythms, and literary attitudes. The dramaturgy of the evening thrives on condensation: each reading sets its own accent, each passage opens a new linguistic stage picture.

The audience takes the direction

The Haidhauser Workshop Prize is an audience prize. After the performances, it is not an anonymous jury that decides, but the audience itself. This immediate audience reaction gives the finale its special theater atmosphere: attention, tension, and discussion become part of the production. Literature appears here not as a silent object, but as a living encounter between voice, text, and listeners.

A prize for new literary voices

The workshop prize is endowed with 500 euros. The already qualified authors include Selina Golling, Marc Richter, Olga Bedia Lang, Matthias Vesely, Anna Funk, Franz Oberhofer, Nina Strasser, and Martin Emmerling. Their contributions promise a multifaceted evening of narrative precision, lyrical condensation, and the open energy of a literary competition.

Conclusion: Literature that arises in the space

The final of the 33rd Haidhauser Workshop Prize combines reading, competition, and collective judgment into an immediate stage experience. Those who want to discover new voices, experience texts live, and participate in the outcome of a literary prize will find an evening full of linguistic tension at Gasteig HP8.
