The Schiller Prize was a Swiss literary award which was established in 1905 to promote Swiss literature and was awarded until 2012 when it was replaced as a national literary award by the Swiss Literature Awards.
The prize was awarded by the Schiller Foundation which awarded prizes each year to literary works by Swiss authors. The prize was in the amount of 10,000 francs. The Grand Prix Schiller of 30,000 francs was awarded less frequently. The Prix Schiller Découverte of 5,000 francs was awarded to new Swiss authors.[1]
