Drachmannlegatet Explained

Drachmannlegatet is a Danish literary award founded in 1917, based on funding derived from the entrance fee to Drachmanns Hus in Skagen. The winner is announced annually on 9 October, the anniversary of the birthday of Danish writer and painter Holger Drachmann (1846–1908).[1]

History

Efforts were first made to establish the award in 1916, in connection with the 70th anniversary of Drachmann's birth. It was first awarded the next year in 1917 to Johannes Buchholtz (1882–1940). Occasionally the Drachmann has not been awarded on a given year, though on other occasions it has been awarded to multiple authors.[2]
