The "Nordlys" statuette will be handed over to the winner at a special award ceremony during the Session of the Nordic Council in Reykjavík in the last week of October.
The DKK 300,000 prize is shared equally between the screenwriter, director and producer to underline that film as an art form emerges from close collaboration between these three main jobs.
