Kenneth Sivertsen-prisen

Bømlo kommune honors the musician and composer Kenneth Sivertsen by awarding a prize bearing his name to young musical talents. The prize consists of a bronze statuette on an oak base created by Mike McGurk and a gift check for 28,000 Norwegian kroner. The award is given to performers under 30 years old who have demonstrated great talent through production and/or performance, showing quality and originality within their field. Candidates are nominated by a broadly composed jury. The prize is awarded every other year if the jury finds worthy candidates, with the award presented by the mayor, a representative from the jury, and a representative from Kenneth Sivertsen's family.
