Gyldendal's Endowment

Gyldendal's Endowment was a literature prize that was awarded in the period 1934–1995 by the Norwegian publisher Gyldendal Norsk Forlag.^[1] The prize was awarded to significant authors, regardless of which publisher the author was associated with.

From 1996 the Gyldendals endowment was superseded by the Gyldendal Prize^[1][2] for "particularly significant writing" and (since 1998) by the Sult-prisen (Hunger Award) for "eminent young authors".^[3]
