Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about". The Gyldendal Prize, formerly Gyldendal's Endowment, is a Norwegian literary prize awarded by the Norwegian publisher Gyldendal Norsk Forlag. Gyldendal's Endowment was awarded from 1934 to 1995.[1] It was superseded by the Gyldendal Prize in 1996. The prize is awarded for the entire body of the author's work and regardless of their publisher.

History

In 1996, the Gyldendal's endowment was superseded by the Gyldendal Prize, awarded for "particularly significant writing" over the body of a writer's work.[1][2] Initially annual, since 2015 this prize has been awarded every two years. With a monetary value of 50,000 Euros,[3] it is Norway's richest literary prize.[4][5] Previous winners include Dag Solstad, Jon Fosse, Vigdis Hjorth, Karl Ove Knausgård and Per Petterson.[5]

In addition, since 1998, the publisher has awarded the Sult-prisen (Hunger Award) for "eminent young authors".[6]
