Spellemannprisen
Spellemannprisen, often referred to as the Norwegian Grammy Awards in English, is a Norwegian music award presented to Norwegian musicians. The award was established by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, an organization that represents the interests of the recording industry worldwide. First awarded in 1973, the prize honours musicians from the previous year; it is still awarded annually.

Twenty-one categories are currently awarded and the committee may award additional honorary and industry awards.
The awards are usually held in January or February.
Juries and scoring
Separate juries convene for each category. Members are confidential from both the general public and the other juries. The juries score each nominee separately, then convene to deliberate until there is a winner. Usually, three nominees are presented to the jury.The Spellemanns committee nominates three categories: Newcomer of the Year, Fiddler of the Year and Hit Artist. A nomination jury nominates the rest of the videos, which are then presented to the juries.
