Herman Wildenvey Poetry Award


The Herman Wildenvey Poetry Award is a Norwegian award. It is conferred every year on July 20, the birthday of the poet Herman Wildenvey, in an event held at Hergisheim. The award consists of NOK 15,000 and a bronze relief plaque designed by the sculptor Ørnulf Bast.
The award is given to a person or institution that has helped foster interest in Herman Wildenvey's poetry and stimulated efforts for his poetic values to hold a greater place in everyday life.
The award was conferred for the first time in 1996 by the Wildenvey Society. After this society became defunct in 2014, the award still continued at the initiative of the former directors of the society.
