Spellemannprisen is a Norwegian music award ceremony presented by IFPI Norge and FONO. [1] It was first awarded in 1973 for the recording year 1972, and has been awarded every year since. It is the most significant award that a group or artist can receive in Norwegian music. The award ceremony is organized by the Spellemann Committee, which is appointed by IFPI Norge and FONO. [2]

Contents

The annual ceremony features performances by prominent artists. The awards are presented in a widely viewed broadcast ceremony. [3] The awards are the Norwegian equivalent to the Grammy Awards for music, and it is one of the major awards in Norway along with the Gullruten for television, Amandaprisen for motion pictures, and Heddaprisen for stage performances.

Juries and scoring

The number of awards given varies somewhat from year to year. According to the regulations for the 2022 awards, awards are given in a total of 28 categories. Of these, there are 17 genre-specific categories, three awards for the author (Composer, Lyricist and Songwriter), seven additional categories (Spellemann of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Producer of the Year, International Success of the Year, and Release of the Year) and the Honorary Prize. [4]

For each of the genre-specific classes as well as the author classes and additional classes, with the exception of Spellemann of the Year, the Honorary Prize and the Release of the Year, a professional jury is appointed. The professional juries decide by means of two rounds of scoring which of the registered artists and albums will be nominated in the various classes. Between three and five artists are nominated in each class. The professional jury then votes for a winner who receives a bronze statuette and diploma. For the Children's Music class, a children's jury is also used to select the winner. In the song of the year class, the winner is selected by the professional jury in combination with an audience vote. An audience vote has also been used in the past to select the winner of the Music Video class. For the Release of the Year class, a grand jury composed of all members of the professional jury is used. For the classes Spellemann of the Year and the Honorary Prize, a special jury nominates artists and selects the winner on an open basis. No nominations for Spellemann of the Year and the honorary prize are announced in advance. [5]

Spellemann of the Year

Established in 1986, the annual Spellemann of the Year (Norwegian : Årets Spellemann) is the most important award in the ceremony. It honors a Norwegian artist or group that has distinguished itself in the past year, taking into account performance, commercial success and record releases. [6] The award is usually presented by the previous year's winner. [7]

Breakthrough award

Since 2007, the winner of the Breakthrough of the Year award (Norwegian : Årets Gjennombrudd), previously called Newcomer of the Year (Norwegian : Årets Nykommer), takes home a prize of 200,000 kroner. The scholarship is awarded by Gramo, a Norwegian music industry funding agency. [8]

Past winners includes Kvelertak, Aurora, Sondre Lerche, Boy Pablo, Lene Marlin, Sigrid, Astrid S, Emilie Nicolas, Donkeyboy and Undergrunn. [9] [10]
