Frans Kellendonk Prize

The Frans Kellendonk Prize (from the left: Frans Kellendonk-prijs ) is a Dutch literature prize that was set up in 1993 on the initiative of the Frans Kellendonk Foundation to commemorate the writer Frans Kellendonk (1951–1990).

The prize is awarded for a literary work or the entire work of an author that testifies to an independent and original view of a social or essential problem. A connection with other literary forms of expression, such as narration , lecture or journalism , is possible.
