Danish Critics Prize for Literature
The Danish Critics Prize for Literature (in Danish: Kritikerprisen) is an annual Danish literature award. It was established in 1957 by the Danish Publishers Association. Since 1971 the award has been made by the Danish Literature Critics Association (Litteraturkritikernes Lav) after a vote by members. The award currently carries a prize of DKK 30,000.[1] The Association also awards the Georg Brandes-Prize.[2]
