The Merano Poetry Prize (German: Lyrikpreis Meran) is an international literary prize for German-language poetry that was founded by Alfred Gruber (1929–1998), a South Tyrolian catholic priest and writer.[1] The biennial competition was established in 1993[2] and is awarded by the South Tyrolean provincial government in the city of Merano ever since. In addition to the main award (1. Preis), which is endowed with €8,000, usually two further prizes are awarded, the Alfred Gruber Prize (Alfred-Gruber-Preis, endowed with €3,500) and the Media Prize of the RAI broadcaster South Tyrol (Medienpreis der RAI Südtirol, endowed with €2,500).[3][4]

The Merano Poetry Prize is considered highly prestigious.[5][6] The Austrian national public broadcaster ORF called it "one of the most important literary competitions in the German-speaking world" ("[einer] der wichtigsten Literaturwettbewerbe seiner Gattung im deutschen Sprachraum")[7]
