Holberg Medal
The Holberg Medal (Danish: Holberg-Medaljen) is an award to a Danish author of fiction or writer on science. It is an appreciation of a literary or scientific work or of the award winner's authorship as a whole. The prize is often awarded on 3 December, the birthday of Ludvig Holberg. The first award was given in 1934 in connection with the 40th anniversary of the Danish association of authors.[1]

gollark: People say they want stuff like taxes and mortgages explained but I'm pretty sure tax is magically handled by employers and mortgages aren't very difficult maths.
gollark: What would you actually like explained which you can't find out on your own practically?
gollark: Well, I think later education should be more person-specific, but if you're not exposed to lots of subjects in the first place it is nontrivial to know if you like them.
gollark: Besides, most people will "never use" art and such.
gollark: It is hard to know in advance what you will or won't need.
