Rungstedlund Award
The Rungstedlund Award is an award of honor, founded by the Rungstedlund Foundation in 1991. 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.[1] Rungstedlund was owned by Karen Blixen from 1939-58.
