The Amanda Award (Norwegian: Amandaprisen) is an award given annually at the Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund Norway to promote and improve Norwegian film. The award originated in 1985 and has since 2005 been exclusively a film award (not television). Winners are awarded a trophy by the Norwegian sculptor Kristian Kvakland and the name—and theme—of the sculpture comes from a legendary local woman from the 1920s.
