Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award
- Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award
The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award is a Swedish children's literature award, established by the Swedish government in 2002 in honour of the Swedish children's books writer Astrid Lindgren. The prize is awarded annually to an amount of five million SEK.
The Astrid Lindgren Award may be awarded to writers, illustrators, narrators and/or promoters of reading whose work reflects the spirit of Astrid Lindgren. The object of the award is to increase interest in children’s and young people’s literature, and to promote children’s rights to culture on a global level. The award is administered by The Swedish Arts Council. Unlike most similar awards in literature, the Astrid Lindgren Award does only rely on government funds. It has been critizised for using taxpayers' money on awarding already established and internationally successful writers.
