The Amanda is for the Norwegians just as famous as the American Oscar. The film award is the Norwegian Film Award and it is awarded people in the Norwegian film industry every August in Haugesund at The International Norwegian Film Festival. I have friends who has won this award before, and this year they made som specially designed mini-editions of the prize. The award is designed and sculptured by Kristian Kvakland and was first presented in the year of 1985.
