Leonard Statuette Explained
Leonardstatuetten (Leonard Statuette) is a prize awarded by the Norwegian Comedy Writers' Association.[1] The award is named after revue instructor, composer and director Einar Leonard Schanke (1927–1992), who was one of Norway's most important revue personalities.[2] The prize is regarded the highest distinction in Norwegian revue. Awarded from 1968 to 2013, the statuette was given to persons with a significant and lasting importance to Norway's entertainment industry.[1] The statuette was again awarded in 2019, when Eldar Vågan was the recipient.[3]
