Spellemannprisen, often referred to as the Norwegian Grammy Awards in English, is a Norwegian music award presented to Norwegian musicians. The award was established by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), an organization that represents the interests of the recording industry worldwide. First awarded in 1973, the prize honours musicians from the previous year; it is still awarded annually. The Spellemann committee, composed of members of IFPI Norway and FONO, manages the award and acts as the judge. Twenty-one categories are currently awarded and the committee may award additional honorary and industry awards.
The awards are usually held in January or February.

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 on 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, yet no one has won more than one award in a single year.
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 TV2.
