Helena Hedman, opera
SEK 48 300 from the Carl Larsson's Scholarship Fund
SEK 15 000 from the Gustaf Tobison Family Scholarship Fund
"I am extremely grateful for the scholarship! For me, the scholarship is a recognition that I hold very close to my heart. It is a much-needed grant that I will use to go out and compete, for auditions and attending masterclasses. This autumn I will be in Berlin for a month to study German and sing the role of the Witch in the opera Hansel and Gretel at the Berlin Opera Academy. After that I will start my master's degree in opera at the Kunsthøgskolen in Oslo."
Lotta Karlsson, Acting
SEK 48 300 from the Carl Larsson's Scholarship Fund
"Receiving the Carl Larsson scholarship is a fantastic encouragement to continue with my artistic work. It's incredibly nice that other people see a quality in my work and I'm so grateful for that. The scholarship also means that I can acquire technology that will help me to reach out with my acting. This autumn I will start my final year at the Academy of Music and Drama and will go to Helsingborg City Theatre for an internship. We will be playing Lord of the Flies directed by Johan Paus. In the spring I will return to the academy for the final production of the training."

SEK 20 000 from the Bertha Neubergh Scholarship Fund for Artistic Education and the Lars and Yvonne Gurmund Scholarship Fund
"This scholarship will enable me to continue developing my bachelor's thesis and do more research about the relationship between space and music. Now I will have a summer job as a production technician at Radio Sweden here in Gothenburg and after that I will combine technician jobs, freelance jobs and my artistic work in the studio."
Petra Björkman, Musical Theatre
SEK 20 000 from the Bertha Neubergh Scholarship Fund for Artistic Education and the Lars and Yvonne Gurmund Scholarship Fund
"The scholarship means a lot to me. I feel calmer now that I'm about to take the next step and start freelancing. I have some gigs and other jobs in the pipeline and continue to look for work. I plan to take dance and singing lessons and that feels doable with the money. Also, watching performances for inspiration is easier with the scholarship."
Viktoria Karlsson, Opera
SEK 20 000 from the Bertha Neubergh Scholarship Fund for Artistic Education and the Lars and Yvonne Gurmund Scholarship Fund
"The scholarship will enable me to attend a summer course at the Lyric Opera Studio Weimar, Germany. There I will play the Queen of the Night in a production of The Magic Flute by W. A. Mozart. Next, I'll start studying for a master's degree in music drama at the Malmö Academy of Music."
