2. NORDIC CULTURE EVENT OF THE YEAR – DIGITAL 2015/2016
2.1 Background and theme
The Nordic Culture Event of the Year is an extraordinary initiative of the Fund. Every other year, the Fund awards DKK 3 million to one Nordic co-operation project within a theme that is current and important for the Fund. The award will promote greater Nordic co-operation within the chosen theme and will increase awareness of and interest in Nordic cultural co-operation.
In 2015-2016, the Fund is placing the focus on digital arts and culture. This is defined as arts and culture that is created and produced, and that can interact and be disseminated, using new technology and digital media. With this initiative, the Fund hopes to provide a boost to the players that focus on creating new arts and new expressions based on new technology and media, and to stimulate the arena where arts and technology can collaborate. The Nordic Culture Fund has decided to earmark DKK 3 million for the Nordic Culture Event of the Year – DIGITAL 2015/16.
