The name of the Norse god of poetry Brage has been given to the Norwegian literature prize – the Bragi Prize. Here are Brage presented with Idunn on a romantic painting by Nils Johan blommar from 1846. Bragi is shown with a harp and accompanied by his wife Iðunn in this 19th century painting by Nils Blommér.

This is not to be mistaken for the Brakeprisen, a prize awarded by the Drammen, Norway library.

The Brage Prize (in Norwegian the Brageprisen) is a Norwegian literature prize that is awarded annually by The Norwegian Book Prize foundation (Den norske bokprisen). The prize recognizes recently published Norwegian literature.

The Brage Prize has been awarded each fall since 1992 for the following categories:

• Fiction
• Children's literature
• Nonfiction
• Open class – a class which varies each year.

In addition to these classes, during the first several years the prize was also awarded in the following categories:

• Poetry
• Textbooks
• Picture books
• General literature

The Brage Prize is considered to be one of the most prestigious literature prizes awarded in Norway.
