The Kellgren prize is given for significant contributions within the entire field of the Swedish Academy’s activities.
In recent years, the recipients of the prize were Suzanne Osten (2021), Anders Cullhed (2022), Svante Nordin (2023), and Inger Johansson (2024).

From the Academy’s motivation: “Her wide-ranging authorship moves between poetry, essays, and scholarship, and has been praised for its ability to combine stylistic elegance and humor with profound learning.”

Among the prizes and distinctions awarded to Nina Burton are the Gerard Bonnier Essay Prize, the Grand Non-Fiction Book Prize, the Swedish Academy’s Essay Prize, the Övralid Prize, and His Majesty the King’s Medal of the 8th Size in the Order of the Seraphim.
