The Göttingen Elk has been awarded since 1997. In the past, Rainald Grebe, Maren Kroymann and Max Goldt, among others, have been honored with the award.
This year the Göttinger Elch satire prize goes to the cartoonist duo Greser & Lenz. Achim Greser (62) and Heribert Lenz (65) are being honored for their sharp political caricatures and their uncomfortable view of society, as the city of Göttingen announced. Entertainer Harald Schmidt (66) will give the laudatory speech at the Moose Prize award ceremony on March 3, 2024.
The exhibition “Evolution? – Caricatures from 25 years” will be open in the Old Town Hall from January 21st Göttingen presented. On display are works that reflect the versatility and critical spirit of Greser & Lenz, it said. The two illustrators became known for their work for the satirical magazine “Titanic”, the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” and the news magazines “Stern” and “Focus”, among others.
