Cappelen Prize
Norwegian literary award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cappelen Prize (Norwegian: Cappelenprisen) is a Norwegian literary award that was established in 1979 by J.W. Cappelens Forlag, one of the oldest publishing houses of Norway, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the publishing house.[1][2] It has not been awarded after J.W. Cappelens Forlag merged with N. W. Damm & Søn to Cappelen Damm in 2007.
