Nominees for Gulljerven

For a long time, Scenekunstbruket has wanted to award a prize to everyone who works and works hard in the professional performing arts field for children and young people. So in 2019, 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.

Last year, due to circumstances, we only awarded one prize, the Honorary Award, but this year we want nominees in all categories! 

The award is presented during this year's Showbox festival.

GULLJERVEN 2021 

2020 and 2021 have been a tough year for actors in the performing arts field, which makes it all the more important to celebrate properly!

Nominations from the field

The nominations have come in from people working in the field of performing arts for children and young people, friends and colleagues, and the jury that selects this year's winners includes Anders Gaarder Karterudseter from the Cultural Rucksack in Oslo, Charlotte Espeland from the Cultural Rucksack in Vestland and dance artist Tony Tran. The prize will be awarded during this year's Showbox, in the first week of December.
