The deadline for submissions to the True Story Award 2027 has just passed. We have received 1,038 entries from 113 countries. Another increase compared to last year! They are distributed relatively evenly across the 12 language and regional categories. It is now up to our native-speaking experts from 27 different countries to assess the texts for their narrative quality, research and impact.
On 10 January 2027, we will publish our shortlist. Thirty-six colleagues will then be nominated and invited to the True Story Festival in Bern from 4 to 6 June 2027.
