The Rungstedlund Award is an award of honor, founded by the Rungstedlund Foundation (Rungstedlundfonden) in 1991. The DKK 25,000 prize is annually handed to a person who has made a notable contribution in an area which interested Karen Blixen. The prize is handed at the birthday of Karen Blixen on 17 April. The award comes from a gift from Hørsholm Municipality at the opening of the Karen Blixen Museum on 14 May 1991.[1] [2]

Rungstedlund was the country house in Rungsted near Copenhagen which was owned by Karen Blixen from 1939-58. Rungstedlund is now the site of the Karen Blixen Museum. [3] [4]
