Bogforum opens by crowning Feline Kamber’s debut
Foder til høns, published by Gutkind, wins the Debutant Prize at the Copenhagen festival’s opening ceremony.
Bogforum opened at Copenhagen’s Bella Center by awarding its 2026 Debutant Prize to Feline Kamber for her first novel, Foder til høns, published by Gutkind. The award was presented on Friday 30 October during the official opening of Denmark’s largest literary festival, which continues until 1 November. The decision places a new writer at the centre of a programme containing hundreds of author talks, interviews and debates for adults and younger readers. Saturday admission has sold out, while the organisers still indicate availability for the final day. At an event filled with established names, the prize is a useful reminder that festivals are also places of discovery: they can turn an author’s first book into a national literary conversation.
