Norwegian of the Year (Ny Tid)

Following a public debate on the definition of the term Norwegian (a demonym; Norwegian: nordmann, lit. 'Northman') more specifically whether Norwegian citizens of foreign origin should be called nordmann or—considered as more neutral—norsk (an adjective; English: Norwegian), the magazine instituted the distinction Årets nordmann, i.e. 'Norwegian of the Year', in 2007. The first recipient was actress Kohinoor Nordberg, originally from Bangladesh.
