Woutertje Pieterse Prijs Explained

Awarded For:	Award for best children's book
Country:	Netherlands
Reward:	15,000
Year:	1988

The Woutertje Pieterse Prijs (pronounced as /nl/; Dutch for Woutertje Pieterse Prize) is an annual Dutch literary award for the best children's book of the preceding year.^[1]

History

The award was first given in 1988.^[2] The award is awarded annually in March or April.

The award is named after the character Woutertje Pieterse in Ideeën written by Multatuli. The award's name refers to the character's curiosity and tendency to go against society's morals.^[3] Similarly, the Woutertje Pieterse Prijs is awarded to books that differ from children's literature with a didactic or moralistic nature.^[3]

Some authors have received the award multiple times, including Toon Tellegen (1992, 1994), Joke van Leeuwen (1997, 1999), and Paul Biegel (1991, 2000). In 2018, Annet Schaap with her book Lampje was the first author to receive this award with a debut novel.^[1]

The prize money has been provided by various organisations over the years, including the Lirafonds and Bruna.^[2] The award was sponsored by Lirafonds until 2014 and by Bruna in 2015, 2016 and 2017.^[2] The 2018 edition of the award was sponsored using one-off funding. The 2019 and 2020 editions of the award were sponsored by the Brook Foundation and Stichting De Versterking.^[2]
