Y.B. Mangunwijaya, has received the 1996 Netherlands-based “Professor Teeuw Award” in recognition of his contributions to Indonesian literature and culture.

At the award ceremony Teeuw, 75, saluted Father Mangunwijaya as a true culturist, saying his literary efforts creatively develop the artistic and cultural dimensions of Indonesia´s national language, Bahasa Indonesia. Besides a medal and certificate, the award carried a cash prize of 10,000 Dutch guilders (US$5,586).

Father Mangunwijaya is the third recipient of the Professor Teeuw Award since it began in 1992.

The first recipient was Goenawan Moehammad, an Indonesian poet and the former chief editor of the now banned “Tempo” weekly magazine. The second was Harry Peoze of Het Koninklijk Instituut vor Taal, Land-en Volkenkunde (royal institute for language, country and culture), based in Leiden, Netherlands.
