The Finland Prize, established in 1993, is awarded in recognition of a distinguished career in arts, an exceptional artistic achievement, or a promising breakthrough. Apart from the Finnish Glass Museum, each prize winner will receive either EUR 14,250. Sari Multala, the Minister of Science and Culture, nominates the recipients of the Finland Prizes once a year.

- With this Finland Prize, I wish to pay tribute to the professionals in arts and culture, whose work is characterised by deep commitment and courage. Their efforts and artistic works have brought about greater diversity, helped others succeed and created new ways of making art and cultural heritage available and accessible to people here and around the world, said Minister of Science and Culture Sari Multala.
