Congratulations to Danica Curcic for receiving this year’s Culture Prize at the Crown Prince Couple’s Awards Show on October 31.

Curcic was recognised, said Crown Prince Frederik, because “with a special feeling for the human psyche, [she] throws herself into demanding roles, which she manages to portray in a complex and vivid way.” 

The Culture Prize comes with a 500,000 Danish kroner award. Established in 2004 as a gift to the newlyweds by the The Bikuben Foundation, the committee behind the awards chooses a pool of nominees with Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary selecting the winners on the committee’s advice.
