The special thing about the KlarText Prize: everyone wins. This is because all participants - regardless of their ranking - can take part in a two-day "Science Communication Workshop" run by the National Institute for Science Communication (NaWik). The NaWik lecturers will show how professional communication works and give individual feedback on each entry.
The winners can look forward to receiving 7,500 euros each and being accepted into the foundation's alumni network. In addition, their articles will be edited together with science journalists and published in KlarText magazine.
