Faroe Islands Culture Prize

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mentanarvirðisløn Landsins (literally: Culture Prize of the Country ) is the local name for the Faroe Islands Culture Prize , which has been awarded annually by the Faroese state government since 1998 .

The price

The culture prize is awarded every year on January 15th, William Heinesen's birthday , and is worth 150,000 crowns by Faroese standards.

A committee with five members makes a recommendation about the award to a poet, writer, visual artist, composer and another cultural worker. The price will then be presented by the respective Faroese minister of culture in a ceremony in mid-January. However, the Minister of Culture is not bound by the committee's recommendation. The first prize winner in 1998 was the poet Regin Dahl .

Since 2001, the "Honorary Gift of the Land" ( Heiðursgáva Landsins ), which is worth 75,000 crowns, has also been presented. In 2011, the "Young Artist Prize" ( Virðisløn til ungt listafólk ) endowed with 50,000 crowns was added.

Finally, a lifelong payment , known as sømdargáva , of 20,000 kroner annually is given to an artist whose work is important for the present and the future.
