The Edda Award is an accolade bestowed annually[1] by the Icelandic Film and Television Academy, and is the most prominent film and television award in Iceland, awarded annually in February.[2] [3] The Edda has awarded for outstanding work in various categories of film and television annually since 1999,[4] [5] except in 2009 due to the economic crash the year before.[6] In 2010, the event was moved from the usual November date to February, and the eligibility period for that year was from 1 November 2008 to 30 December 2009. Since 2011, the eligibility period is the previous calendar year.
