Søren Gyldendal (12 April 1742 – 8 February 1802) was a Danish bookstore owner who founded Gyldendal which became Denmark's largest publishing house. [1]
Every year on the anniversary of his birthday, the Søren Gyldendal Foundation (Søren Gyldendal Fonden) awards a prize in his name, the Søren Gyldendal Prize (Søren Gyldendal Prisen). Since 2009, the prize has been DKK 200,000. Every second year a fiction writer is awarded and every second year the prize goes to a non-fiction author.[3][4][5]
