Konrad-Duden Prize (Konrad-Duden-Preis) is a German linguistics award presented by the City of Mannheim in cooperation with the Duden publisher (Bibliographisches Institut). It honours individuals with special merits in the research and public understanding of the German language. The prize is endowed with €12,500 and is awarded every three years (formerly awarded more frequently).[1][2]
The prize is awarded by the Mannheim city council on the recommendation of a prize committee (Preisgericht) and is not open to applications.[3]
The prize is named after German philologist Konrad Duden.[2]
In 2007, a special award (Sonderpreis) was presented to the Goethe-Institut in connection with Mannheim's 400th anniversary celebrations.[4]
