Saami Council Literature Prize

The Saami Council Literature Prize (Northern Sami: Sámiráđi girjjalašvuođa bálkkašumi, Inari Sami: Sämirääđi kirjálâšvuođâpalhâšume and Finnish: Saamelaisneuvoston kirjallisuuspalkinto) is a literary prize for Saami literature first awarded by the Saami Council in 1994. At first, the prize was awarded annually; however, starting in 2003, it has been awarded roughly once every two years, with authors of children's and young adult literature being honored every other time. In 2007, the total monetary value of the prize was 3,000 euros.
