About Beatrice Prize
The Beatrice Prisen is an annual Danish literary award made by the Danish Academy. It was founded in 1983 by Birthe and Paul Beckett and first awarded in 1984. Its value is currently DKK 50,000. Each year, it honours one Danish writer, of either poetry or prose, whose "published books already have a quality, which there is reason to appreciate, and where there is reason to believe, that he or she will develop further."
