Herman Wildenvey Poetry Award information


The Herman Wildenvey Poetry Award (Norwegian: Herman Wildenveys Poesipris) is a Norwegian award. It is conferred every year on July 20, the birthday of the poet Herman Wildenvey, in an event held at Hergisheim. The award consists of NOK 15,000 and a bronze relief plaque designed by the sculptor Ørnulf Bast.

The award is given to a person or institution that has helped foster interest in Herman Wildenvey's poetry and stimulated efforts for his poetic values to hold a greater place in everyday life.

The award was conferred for the first time in 1996 by the Wildenvey Society (Norwegian: Wildenvey-selskapet). After this society became defunct in 2014,[1] the award still continued at the initiative of the former directors of the society.[2]
