The International Ibsen Scholarships were initiated by the Norwegian government in 2007. The aim is that as many relevant applications as possible are sent, and from projects throughout the world. 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 and institutions within artistic and cultural communities. The International Ibsen Scholarships 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 in September 2010. It coincides with Skien International Ibsen Conference.
