The GDCh Prize for Journalism and Literature (previously GDCh Prize for journalists and writers) is awarded for outstanding journalistic or literary achievements, regardless of the language, which contribute in a special way to the dissemination of chemical science content in German-speaking countries. In 1980 a prize for journalists and in 1997 a prize for writers were set up at the GDCh. Both prizes were awarded alternately until they were merged into the GDCh award for journalists and writers in 2008, which was renamed in 2021.
