Ranald MacDonald Award

‘Friends of MacDonald • The Dutch Connection’ —a Cultural Public Benefit Organisation— tries to advance our insight into relations between Asia, Europe and North America. Its major activity is to grant the Ranald MacDonald Award to a first work by a writer or artist shedding new light on those relations. The prize amounts to 5,000 Euros and is awarded every October 11.
