The winner of the prize receives €60,000 and a small replica of a statue of Theo Thijssen by Hans Bayens.[1]

The Theo Thijssen-prijs is a continuation of the literary award Staatsprijs voor kinder-en jeugdliteratuur (Dutch for State prize for children's and youth literature) which was first awarded in 1964.[2][1] The award ceremony is held in the Dutch Museum of Literature in The Hague.[1] The award is awarded by the Stichting P.C.
