The Ibsen Scholarships award innovative projects in the field of drama and performing arts and projects that act as incentives for critical discourse with regards to existential and society-related subject matter concerning Henrik Ibsen and his plays.
"The Ibsen Scholarships were initiated by the Norwegian government in 2008. This is the fifth year for the scholarships. Till now, 15 scholarships across 11 countries have been handed out. From India, only one project was awarded in 2008 and we are hoping to receive exciting project applications from India this year," said Hilde Guri Bohlin, head of Ibsen Awards, Norway.
No particular country or continent has dominated the awards so far. In 2011 however, three projects, one each in Sudan, South Africa and one in Lebanon, were awarded in Africa, informed Bohlin.
The Ibsen Scholarships are awarded annually and project submissions are subject to scrutiny by a jury. The total fund of the scholarship is approximately 1,000,000 NOK (approximately euro 1,30,000/US$ 1,70,000) for projects worldwide, to individuals, organisations or institutions within the artistic and cultural community.
The winners of The Ibsen Scholarships 2012 will be presented the awards at the International Ibsen Conference from September 10 - 11 at Skien, Norway, the home town of Henrik Ibsen.
The deadline for applications is April 30.
