Robert Award for Best Screenplay

The Robert Award for Best Screenplay (Danish: Robert Prisen for årets manuskript) is one of the merit awards presented by the Danish Film Academy at the annual Robert Awards ceremony. The award has been handed out since 1984, but except in 1991 and 1993. On two occasions, in 2005 and in 2015, the Academy handed out two awards in the category, one for best original screenplay (Danish: Årets originale manuskript), and one for best adapted screenplay (Danish: Årets adapterede manuskript).^[1]
