Astrid Lindgren Prize

The Astrid Lindgren Prize ({{langx|sv|Astrid Lindgren-priset}}) is a Swedish literary award for children's literature named after the Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren. The prize was instituted by the publishing house Rabén & Sjögren in 1967 to honour Lindgren on her 60th birthday.{{cite encyclopedia | title=Astrid Lindgren-priset | encyclopedia=Nationalencyklopedin | url=https://www.ne.se/uppslagsverk/encyklopedi/l%C3%A5ng/astrid-lindgren-priset | accessdate=25 November 2018 | archive-date=4 February 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170204134828/http://www.ne.se/uppslagsverk/encyklopedi/l%C3%A5ng/astrid-lindgren-priset | url-status=live }}

It is awarded annually on Lindgren's birthday, 14 November, to a Swedish writer for children and young adults; this distinguishes it from the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, which has a more international focus.
