Borås Tidnings debutantpris

Borås Tidnings debutantpris (Borås Tidning award for best literary debut) is an annual award to a Swedish debut literary work awarded by newspaper Borås Tidning and University of Borås. It was first awarded in 2001 to Lotta Lotass for Kallkällan, winning 100,000 SEK.

The award has become a prestigious prize in Swedish literature. In a 2010 study, Borås Tidnings debutantpris was the fourth most reported literary award in Sweden, after the August Prize, the Nordic Council Literature Prize, and Sveriges Radios romanpris, in one metric shared fourth with Piratenpriset. As of 2025, the award sum is 150,000 SEK, handed out at Borås City Theatre.

Korparna by Tomas Bannerhed was the first work to win both the August Prize and Borås Tidnings debutantpris in 2012. The 2020 winner Osebol by Marit Kapla has also won both awards.

The 2025 jury was author and literature critic Aase Berg, secondary-school teacher and critic Björn Kohlström, and University of Borås researcher Linnéa Lindsköld.
