The winners of the literary competition for the unusual book fair in Ried have already been determined.
STOCKSTADT – (red). At the literary competition in Stockstadt everything is different this time. The prices will not be announced at the opening ceremony of the Book Fair in Ried – because that will be canceled this year. In 2020, the fair in the Altrheinhalle was the last major event in the Groß-Gerau district that could take place before the first lockdown. But this time there was no chance: The popular book show with its diverse supporting program had to be canceled due to the corona. The organization team has refrained from possibly moving it to autumn because preparations for the trade fair in March 2022 will then start again.
But there was competition, and of course the prizes should be awarded. Since a celebration is not possible, the Stockstadt municipality has opted for a digital version: the announcement of the award winners will be posted on YouTube. The time has come on Saturday, May 15, when the videos will appear on the new YouTube channel of the Südhessen literature portal. As in other years, none of the participants will know by then whether they have received a prize.
The winning book “Das Viertel” with the best stories of the year – many by authors from Ried and southern Hesse – is available from every bookstore and from the Stockstadt community.
