They win the Nordic Council's prize – Norwegian total dominance

The winners of the Nordic Council's prize are awarded 300,000 Danish kroner per category and the prizes are awarded in Helsinki on 27 October.

This year, all prize winners are from Norway – it is the first time that all prizes go to people from the same country.

For the first time in 35 years, the literature prize goes to a work written in Sami - Sigbjørn Skåden's "Láŋtdievvá / Planterhaug".

The novel, which deals with a murder investigation, was published simultaneously in Sami and Norwegian. Sigbjørn Skåden tells Kulturnyheterna that the fact that he wrote the book in Sami first made it easier to bring out the humor in the story.

- We Sami people still live in a situation that feels precarious. So it feels important that the seriousness of our situation comes to light. Therefore, many Sami works that are seen in the "big society" are quite serious. But we are also a humorous people, he says.

The film prize goes to director Joachim Trier's "Sentimental value" with Stellan Skarsgård in one of the roles and the music prize goes to "Elja", a work for string quartet with specially built instruments.
