International Ibsen Award

The International Ibsen Award (Norwegian: Den internasjonale Ibsenprisen) honours an individual, institution or organization that has brought new artistic dimensions to the world of drama or theater. The committee consists of figures in the theatre community.

The prize was established by the Norwegian government in 2008, using the name of playwright Henrik Ibsen. It has no relation to Henrik Ibsen or the Ibsen family, and is solely the initiative of the Norwegian government. The winner is announced on 20 March, which is also Henrik Ibsen's birthday, and the prize consists of NOK 2,5 millions making it one of the richest literary prizes in the world. It is awarded at the Norwegian National Theatre's Ibsen festival every other year. The first laureate was Peter Brook who received the prize on 31 August 2008 during the Ibsen Festival at the Nationaltheatret. The chair of the jury was Liv Ullmann. In 2011 the prize was made biennial, with the next awarding scheduled for September 2012. It was announced on 20 March that the 2012 award will go to Heiner Goebbels.[1]

The International Ibsen Award has two predecessors, the Norwegian Ibsen Award and the Ibsen Centennial Commemoration Award, which was only awarded in 2006/2007.

Winners
gollark: There's no reason many other sites, blogs and news and such (primarily textual content) can't do similar things... and yet we get websites with 10MB of JavaScript to render 10kB of useful content?
gollark: I've designed my site in what I think is a reasonably sane way, in that it's mostly static and simple, inlines the CSS for fast loading, doesn't use exotic browser features, works okay on mobiles, and uses service workers if available for faster loading.
gollark: I disagree with what solar's link says. JS overuse is *still* bad regardless of whether you can improve random metrics.
gollark: Arch Linux.
gollark: I don't actually block anyone right now, although to be honest I probably should.
