Hugues C. Pernath-prijs

The Hugues C. Pernath-prijs^[a] (Dutch for Hugues C. Pernath Prize) is a Belgian literary award named after Flemish poet Hugues C. Pernath. The award is given every other year by the Hugues C. Pernathfonds to a Dutch-language poet no older than 43 years of age. The reason for this restriction is because Hugues C. Pernath, pseudonym of Hugo Wouters, died at age 43.
