Awater Poëzieprijs
Dutch literary award
The Awater Poëzieprijs (Dutch for Awater Poetry Prize) is a Dutch poetry award awarded by poetry magazine Awater.[1][2] It was first awarded in 2008.[2] The winner is chosen by professional poetry readers, such as critics and teachers, who are asked to submit their top three best new Dutch poetry collections of the past year.[2] As such, the award is intended to reflect the industry's opinion.[2]
The award ceremony is held at the end of the annual poetry week (Poëzieweek) organised by various organisations in the Netherlands and Flanders. The winner of the prize receives €500.[update][2]
