History

edit

The first prize was awarded in 2003 to Sámi journalist and film director Johs. Kalvemo in 2003.[1] At first, the prize was awarded every three years until 2009, when it was awarded annually three times in a row. Since 2011, the prize has been awarded approximately every three years.

Over the years, quite a few of the most popular and famous Sámi film people have received this award, including the directors of the first feature films in Northern Sámi, Nils Gaup (Ofelaš) and in Skolt Sámi, Katja Gauriloff (Jeʹvida).[2][3][4]
