The Dr. Ivan Šreter Award ( Croatian: Nagrada Dr. Ivan Šreter) is an annual Croatian linguistics award for the best Croatian language word coined.
The award is named after Dr. Ivan Šreter (1951–1991), a Croatian physician who was sentenced to jail time in Communist Yugoslavia in 1987 [1] for choosing to use the distinct Croatian umirovljeni časnik to refer to his patient as a retired officer, rather than using penzionisani oficir. [2] During the Croatian War of Independence he was taken captive by Serb troops and presumably killed, although his remains have not been found as of April 2008 [update]. [2]
The contest and the award was initially designed by Stjepan Babić, and it has been organized by the literary magazine Jezik since 1993. [3]
