LETTRE ULYSSES AWARD


The Lettre Ulysses Award is the only prize in the world specifically dedicated to the genre of literary reportage. Sponsored by Lettre International, the Aventis Foundation and the Goethe-Institut, the award seeks to provide symbolic, moral and financial support for reporters "whose courage, curiosity, and integrity drives them to create in-depth, well-researched texts, bringing unknown, forgotten, and hidden realities to light."

The top prize winner receives a cash prize of US$50,000. Second and third prize winners receive US$30,000 and $20,000, respectively. Grants are awarded to the other finalists.
