Writer of the Year from Tuusula
We announce the winner of the Tuusula Writer of the Year award every other year on Library Day, 19 March. The Tuusula Culture and Leisure Committee has awarded the prize since 2021.

The purpose of the Tuusula Writer of the Year award is to encourage Tuusula-based authors and writers in their important work as promoters of literary culture.
The award may be granted to an individual, group or association based in Tuusula or active in Tuusula.
The award is granted from the Library’s Local History Collection Fund and includes a certificate of honour and a cash prize. One or more awards may be granted at the discretion of the jury, but the award may also be left ungranted. There is no application process for the award.
The recipient of the award is decided by the Tuusula Culture and Leisure Committee based on the recommendation of the award jury. The Culture and Leisure Committee confirms the members of the jury annually.
