Fylkeskulturprisen

Vestfold Fylkeskulturpris is an annual prize that honors and recognizes an active artist or cultural worker who has made a significant contribution to the county's art and cultural life. The prize is awarded to an artist or cultural worker who is resident in Vestfold, or otherwise has a connection to the county, and who can demonstrate particularly high-quality activity or production. The award amount is NOK 75,000. Candidates can only be proposed by others and not by the artist or cultural worker themselves. The nomination deadline is August 15 each year. The prize has been awarded since 1969, originally as the Kunstnerprisen (Artist Prize) from 1969-2019, and as the Fylkeskulturprisen since 2020. Notable past recipients include authors, composers, visual artists, filmmakers, musicians, and cultural organizations.
