The Literature Prize of the Nordic Council
The Nordic Council's Literature Prize is awarded for a work of imaginative literature written in one of the Nordic languages. This can be a novel, a play, a collection of poetry, short stories or essays, or other work. The work must meet high literary and artistic standards.
The intention of the prize is also to increase interest in the literature of neighbouring countries as well in Nordic cultural fellowship.
The Nordic Council's Literature Prize is awarded every year. The prize is worth 350,000 Danish kroner.
