History
The first award was handed out in 2002 to celebrate the Nordic Council's 50th anniversary.[1] Since 2005 the prize has been annual.
Description
The Nordisk Film & TV Fond is secretariat to the Nordic Council. It is funded by 22 partners: the Nordic Council of Ministers; five national film institutes; and 16 public and private media companies. It also funds the Nordisk Film & TV Fond Prize at the annual Gothenburg Film Festival.[2]
