The Nordic Council Children and Young People's Literature Prize is awarded for a work of
young adult literature written in one of the languages of the Nordic countries. It was established by the Nordic Council
in 2012 after an initiative by ministers of culture in the Nordic countries. The prize was first awarded on 30 October 2013.
In each of the Nordic countries, there is a national adjudication committee which chooses nominations. The committee's members are selected by the
Sami, Greenlandic, Faroese, and Ålandic writers' associations may also submit one nomination per year.[1]
The Nordic Adjudication Committee is made up of two ordinary members of each national adjudication committee and selects the winner based on the nominations.[2] The award is given to new fiction written for children and young people that demonstrates good quality fiction and illustrations.[3]
During the fall session of the
Danish kroner are given to the winner. The Nordic House provides the prize money.[4]
