In 2010, she and her husband, Trond Egil Nilsen, received the Finnmark County Cultural Prize for their dissemination of work aimed at children and young people, among others. [2] In 2014, researchers and directors Beate Bursta and Kristin Nicolaysen premiered the documentary film Kofta & Kilten, which was about the artist couple Hanne Grete Einarsen and Trond Egil Nilsen, with a particular focus on their establishment of Snefjord Highland Gathering. [3]
