Faroese Literature Prize
The Faroese Literature Prize , also known as Mentanarvirðisløn MA Jacobsen ( Culture Prize MA Jacobsen ) is the most prestigious award given in the Faroe Islands for Faroese literature and literature in the Faroese language . Along with the Faroe Islands Culture Prize ( Mentanarvirðisløn Landsins ), the award is one of the country's most important awards.
The price
The prize has been awarded annually since 1958 by the municipality of Tórshavn around September 17th . September 17th is the birthday of MA Jacobsen (1891–1944), a Faroese librarian and writer who, among others, together with Christian Matras, published the now well-known and much appreciated Faroese-Danish dictionary ( Føroysk-donsk orðabók ) for the first time , which experienced numerous new editions. In addition, MA Jacobsen headed the newly founded literature society Varðin from 1918 to 1934 and was mayor of the Faroese capital Tórshavn for many years until his death .
Until 1968 there was only one award, but it was sometimes shared by two authors. Since 1969 there have been separate prices for literary literature (fagurbókmentir) and specialist literature (yrkisbókmentir). Since 1983, a third prize has been established for other cultural achievements. None of the three prizes have to be awarded - so there can be years when there are no, one or two awardees.
Two of the winners named here, William Heinesen and Rói Patursson , have also received the Nordic Council Literature Prize , the next higher award for Faroese authors. The Austrian Faroe Islands researcher Ernst Krenn would have liked to see Hans Andrias Djurhuus as a Nobel Prize winner in an article , but in his case there was no nomination.
Most of the authors are Faroese and the vast majority of the excellent books were originally published in Faroese , but sometimes in other languages as well, as the case of William Heinesen, who wrote mainly in Danish , shows. The only condition for a nomination today is that a Faroese translation of the award-winning work has been published.
