The Förderpreis für Literatur der Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf is a German Literary award donated by the City of Düsseldorf in Northrhine-Westphalia. The Prize for Literature in support of the City of Düsseldorf is awarded since 1972 by the Council of the City due to the decisions of the courts.
The Prize is endowed with 4,000 euros.
The Förderpreis für Literatur der Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf is given once a year to artists and groups, especially to the areas of Poetry, Writing, Review and Translation. The Prize is given either to a single artistic achievement as well as the existing overall performance of a young artist.
The female winner should generally not be older than 40 years, the male winner no older than 35 years. A further award of the Prize to the same artist is allowed if there is a minimum period of five years between the ceremonies.
