Saami Council Literature Prize
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saami Council Literature Prize (Northern Sami: Sámiráđi girjjalašvuođa bálkkašumi, Inari Sami: Sämirääđi kirjálâšvuođâpalhâšume and Finnish: Saamelaisneuvoston kirjallisuuspalkinto) is a literary prize for Saami literature first awarded by the Saami Council in 1994. At first, the prize was awarded annually; however, starting in 2003, it has been awarded roughly once every two years, with authors of children's and young adult literature being honored every other time.[1]
In 2007, the total monetary value of the prize was 3,000 euros.
