C.C.S. Crone Award and Stipend

C.C.S. Crone Award

Presentation of the C.C.S. Crone Award

In 2022, the next tri-annual C.C.S. Crone Award will be presented to honour the entire oeuvre of a writer affiliated with Utrecht. Previous winners of the € 10,000 prize include Ronald Giphart, Manon Uphoff, Arthur Japin, and most recently Maxim Februari in 2019. Our organisation has compiled a dossier of more than 100 authors who are affiliated with Utrecht in some way. Authors may not be nominated for the oeuvre prize, but if you would like to ensure that a specific Utrecht-affiliated author is included in the list, then please feel free to send us an e-mail with their name.

If you have any questions about the C.C.S. Crone Award, or would like more information, please send an e-mail to: crone@hetliteratuurhuis.nl
