The winner of this year's children's culture award goes to...
On Saturday, Viborg's children's culture consultant Anne-Marie Fledelius was honoured with this year's children's culture award during a concert by Sigurd Barret and the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra.
15 years ago, Viborg Municipality hired Anne-Marie Fledelius as a children's culture consultant, and children's culture has been her heart's desire ever since. The current example is that she leads Snapsting for Children. According to the nomination, she has a special ability to lead the crazy and quirky ideas through all obstacles.
The municipality's "materials bank", Halloween celebrations in Bjerringbro, Sunday at Borgvold and holiday activities for children also bear her mark.
"When "Mie" is pouting, it is not for her own sake, but always for the sake of the children and children's culture," the nomination reads.

This year's prize winner
Årets prismodtager er fuld af skøre og skæve idéer, der føres igennem uanset modstand til glæde for byens børn – og deres forældre. Når prismodtageren pukler, er det ikke for sin egen, men altid for børnenes og børnekulturens skyld, lød det blandt andet fra bestyrelsesformand for Institut for Børnekultur, Gudrun Bjerregaard, ved overrækkelsen af hæderen og de 10.000 kroner fra Nordeafonden.
