Nordic Council Film Prize
The Nordic Council Film Prize was awarded for the first time on a trial basis in 2002 in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Nordic Council. It became permanent in 2005 and has since been awarded together with the Nordic Council’s other prizes for music, literature, and the environment.
