Runeberg Prize
The Runeberg prize (Finnish: Runeberg-palkinto, Swedish Runebergspriset) is a Finnish literature prize founded in 1987.
The prize is named in honour of Finnish national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804-1877) and is awarded annually on his birthday, 5 February. The prize is awarded to a literary work by a Finnish writer in Finnish or Swedish. The Runeberg prize is currently endowed with 10,000 euros.
The award is administered by the city of Porvoo, the longtime centre of Runeberg's life, along with the newspaper Uusimaa and the Finnish Writers' Union (Suomen Kirjailijaliitto), the Finnish Critics Association (Suomen arvostelijain liitto) and the Swedish Writers' Association of Finland (Finlands Svenska författareförening).
