Fintro Literature Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fintro Literature Prize (Flemish: Fintro Literatuurprijs ), until 2013 the Golden Book Owl (De Gouden Boekenuil), is a Belgian prize for original Dutch- language literature.

developments

The 1995 Literature Prize was awarded for the first time. From the beginning until 2010 it was called Gouden Uil (Golden Owl), but was continued under the new name De Gouden Boekenuil after a financial crisis in 2012 . In the first five years, the Golden Owl Prize had three categories: fiction novels, children's and young people's books and non-fiction. From 2000, instead of the non-fiction award, a reader jury award was offered. It stayed the same for the next nine years. From 2009 a youth reader award was also awarded. However, the expansion only lasted for over two years, since the financing broke away. In 2011 there was no award. From 2012, this literary award was then slimmed down with only two categories: the 'De Gouden Boekenuil' literary award and the reader's jury award. The main prize winner receives 25,000 euros and a work of art statuette, while the audience prize winner, determined by the vote of a hundred selected readers, receives 2,500 euros and a classy handwriting pen.
