Rungstedlund Award

The DKK 25,000 prize is annually handed to a person who has made a notable contribution in an area which interested Karen Blixen.

The prize is handed at the birthday of Karen Blixen on 17 April.

The award comes from a gift from Hørsholm Municipality at the opening of the Karen Blixen Museum on 14 May 1991.
