International Grimm Prize
The International Grimm Prize ( Japanese 国際 グ リ ム 賞 , Kokusai Gurimu Shō , English. "The International Brothers Grimm Award") has been awarded since 1987 by the International Institute for Children's Literature of the Osaka Prefecture for outstanding research in the field of children's and youth literature . The award itself was set up in 1986, one year before it was first awarded, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Osaka Prefectural High School, which provided funding with affiliated alumni associations. 1986 also marked the 200th anniversary of Wilhelm Grimm's birthday , so the prize was advertised as an international prize. Since 1999 the winners have received a metal plaque showing the cover of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales (second edition). Since 2007, the Hans Christian Andersen Prize has been awarded every two years and since then alternately with the Grimm Prize . The Grimm Prize is endowed with one million yen. The international selection committee consists of ten people, most of whom work at universities.
