VSB Poetry Prize

The VSB Poetry Prize (Dutch: VSB Poëzieprijs) is the most important Dutch language poetry prize.[1]

It has been awarded annually to a Dutch language poet since 1994. The prize winner is announced on the day before Poetry Day in the Netherlands,[1] the last Thursday in January.[2] It is funded by the VSB cultural fund,[1] which was established by the Dutch bank Verenigde Spaarbank.[3] The award was initiated through the efforts of Huub Oosterhuis.[1]

The prize consists of 25,000 Euros and a sculpture created by artist Maria Roosen.[1]
