The International Ibsen Scholarships will be handed out for the 4th time in 2011. The scholarships are meant to act as incentives for critical discourse in regards to existential and society-related subject matters concerning Henrik Ibsen. Scholarships are applicable to individuals, organizations or institutions within the artistic community. The scholarship funds amount to 1.000.000 NOK (approx. 125.000 Euro / 160.000 US Dollars) and will be awarded to Ibsen-related projects world wide.
The International Ibsen Scholarships, initiated by the Norwegian government, are awarded annually and the applications are subject to scrutiny by an appointed jury. Previous years, projects from Asia, North-America, Europe, Africa and Australia have received scholarships. The presentation of the scholarships is staged in Ibsen’s birth town, Skien in Norway, on 19th and 20th September 2011 and coincides with the Skien International Ibsen Conference.
Scholarship Application Deadline: 15th April 2011.
