The host(right ) wears a pair of red stockings to imitate Pippi, a charactor created by Astrid Lindgren. Pippi is always against the traditional thinking. As a girl, she is strong enough to deal with thieves and she has never worried about money. She is never afraid and she has a lot of ideas and innovations.

Cultural Minister Alice Bah spoke at the awarding ceremony.
