Two major prizes are awarded annually in Norway:
- The Abel Prize is a prestigious international mathematics award given every year by the King of Norway to outstanding mathematicians. It is considered the equivalent of a Nobel Prize in mathematics and includes a significant monetary award (7.5 million NOK as of 2025). The prize was established by the Norwegian government in 2001 and is awarded in a ceremony at the University of Oslo
- The Spellemannprisen , often called the Norwegian Grammy Awards, is Norway's top music award presented annually since 1973. It honors outstanding achievements in Norwegian music across various categories, including the top honor "Spellemann of the Year"
Additionally, Norway awards the Nobel Peace Prize annually in Oslo, but this is an international prize rather than a Norwegian national prize
. Thus, the major Norwegian national prizes awarded every year include the Abel Prize for mathematics and the Spellemannprisen for music.
