Telenor Culture Award Explained
Telenor Culture Prize, titled 'Boundless Communication', is given annually to performing artists or organizations that have made an extraordinary contribution within culture in Scandinavia, but who also are established internationally.
The prize was awarded for the first time in 1995 and since then has recognized artists and artistic organizations every year representing multiple disciplines. The prize is awarded to individuals, groups or institutions that have made a significant contribution to culture, across geographical, social and cultural borders. The prize is awarded for innovative performance or communication-related activities at the highest level, within or across artistic forms of expression
