Scenekunstbruket has long wanted to award a prize to everyone who works and works hard in the field of performing arts for children and young people. So last year, in connection with our 25th anniversary, we created Gulljerven. An award that will honor performing artists, companies, performers, technicians, tour organizers and everyone else who works to bring the performing arts to children and young people in every corner of Norway.

This year, the field of performing arts has gone through a difficult period, which makes it all the more important to celebrate properly! Nominations should come from the entire field of performers, organizers and communicators around the country, and we encourage you to consider breadth and diversity when nominating.

Gulljerven will be awarded during Showbox in December 2020.

The prize is awarded in the following categories:

The newcomer award

Has a new company or performer entered the field and taken children and young people by storm? Is there someone you see becoming the next big thing in the field of performing arts for children and young people? Someone who deserves to be noticed by the rest of the field? 

Funniest tour story 

And yes, it needs to be told! This award goes to a performer, a company, a tour leader or an organizer who has in one way or another caused the world's funniest tour story!

Best feedback

This award goes to the best feedback a performer or company has received from their audience. It can be positive, joyful, strange, incomprehensible or furious feedback. The feedback is nominated as a "quote". Also state which performance the feedback applies to.

The cable puller award

This award goes to a steady technician who knows how to pull their cable. It can also go to a dancer, actor or performer who shows strong commitment and exquisite precision during up and down rigging.

Partner at home alone award

This award goes to the best partner who puts up with their partner, boyfriend or girlfriend living most of their life on the road. It can also go to the most exhausted partner, who has a partner, spouse or boyfriend who mostly meets on weekends. 

Award for good hospitality

Is there a school, a cultural center, an institution or a county that is always fantastic to visit? Someone who has gone the extra mile to make sure things run smoothly? 

Open class

You can justify this award yourself. The nominee can be in production, administration, performer or technician.
