The recipient of the award was Jensine Olsen.

The citation for the award stated, among other things:

“When she sews traditional costumes, she is so skilled that she can complete an entire Greenlandic women’s costume in just over two months.”

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Jensine Olsen.
