Europese Literatuurprijs

The Europese Literatuurprijs (in English European Literature Prize) is a Dutch literature prize awarded annually since 2011 to the best contemporary European novel that was published in the previous year and translated into Dutch. The author of the winning novel receives €10,000, and the translator €5,000. The prize is an initiative of the Dutch Foundation for Literature, the academic-cultural center SPUI25, the weekly newspaper De Groene Amsterdammer and the Athenaeum Boekhandel bookstore. It is sponsored by the Lira Fund and various independent bookshops. The book suggestions come from Dutch and Flemish bookshops, though the decision on who ultimately receives the prize is made by a specialist jury.

Check the official rules of the Europese Literatuurprijs for the current eligibility window, accepted formats, residency or language requirements and any entry fee. For most established prizes the publisher submits on the author's behalf, often with a limit on entries per imprint.

If you are self-published, look for an explicit statement that independently published books are accepted, and budget for entry fees and copies for judges.
