Nordlysprisen
Nordlysprisen (established in 1989) is an annual award presented by the newspaper Nordlys during the opening concert at Nordlysfestivalen in Tromsø, Norway. Nordlysprisen is awarded a performing musician or composer, that through his work in Northern Norway has excelled at a high artistic level, and by this contributed to highlight the region's musical life in a positive way. In 2013 the prize-winner was awarded 50 000 Norwegian kroner.[1]
