Ivar Lo Prize
The Ivar-Lo-Preis (Original: Ivar Lo-priset ) is a Swedish literary prize . It was donated in 1986 on the 85th birthday of the writer Ivar Lo-Johansson by the largest Swedish individual trade union umbrella organization, the Landsorganisation i Sverige . It is awarded every year on February 23, the day of Lo-Johansson's birthday, and is currently endowed with 125,000 crowns.
