Anna Blaman Prijs

The Anna Blaman Prijs (Dutch for Anna Blaman Prize) is a Dutch literary award created by the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.[1] The award is named after Dutch writer and poet Anna Blaman. The award is only given to those who either live or work or have a close connection with the city of Rotterdam.[1] The award is given once every three years.[1]

The award was established in 1965 and first awarded in 1966.[1] Early on, the award was given for a specific work but as of 1981 the award is given for someone's entire oeuvre. As of 2015, the award is organised by the Passionate Bulkboek organisation.[1]

As of 2019, the Anna Blaman Prijs and the Hendrik Chabot Prijs (for visual arts) are the two remaining awards for the Rotterdam area created by the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.[2] As of 2016, the Elly Ameling Prijs (for music) is no longer awarded and the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds only awards Cultuurprijs Zuid-Holland every other year.[2] The Hendrik Chabot Prijs is now organised and awarded by the Chabot Museum.[2]
