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.


Newcomer Award

Starting in 2007, the winner of the Newcomer of the Year Award takes home a prize of 200 000 kroner. The scholarship is awarded by Gramo, a Norwegian music industry funding agency.


Multiple award winners

As of 2014, sixteen artists have won the prize more than five times. Leif Ove Andsnes has the most wins with 10 awards.


Broadcast channels

In 2011, the live award show returned to NRK for the first time since 2001, and remained on the same channel afterwards. From 2002 to 2010, the show was broadcast on TV 2.
