‘In these troubled times, also in culture and art,  it is essential to have a strong public service media. It feels more important than ever to be a part of the European community. Coming together, exchanging experiences and new ideas in art and culture makes us stronger, both personally and professionally.  It is especially crucial to threatened genres such as audio fiction. We must renew ourselves and be visible to reach new audiences in order to stay alive. Coming together in PRIX EUROPA helps us do that.’

Gunhild Nymoen is the head of Audio Drama at NRK. She started her career at NRK in 2009 as a dramaturg and is an advisor and specialist in developing contemporary writing. Her main goal has been to renew the genre, always trying to reach new audiences and keep audio fiction alive. In 2022 her team won Prix Europa for best European Audio Fiction of the Year, they also won Prix Italia the same year, and got “Special Commendations” in PRIX EUROPA, for a new production in 2023.
