Niklas: I insist that football is culture. Therefore, I would like to give the prize to AIK:s team captain Henok Goitom. In addition to being an extremely talented footballer, he is also an excellent role model, both on and off the pitch. He is humanistic-inclined, and take a large social responsibility in the community, among other things, he has been involved with and founded a football team in the suburb.
Jenny: I agree with Henok Goitom!

– The saudi human rights activist Raif Badawi. His struggle for the freedom of expression has resulted in that he had been imprisoned and tortured in his home country. Now when the world looks so dark out, I think that he, who is struggling as democracy, deserves a prize.

– I select the Nanna Olasdotter Hallberg for her humorprogram ”Punani_99” on the Radio. She is so terribly funny, which is rare now-a-days. The first ten episodes were fantastic and I look forward to the second season.

– The mexican film director Alfonso Cuarón, who made the ”Roma”. I absolutely fell in love with in the movie, both in story and in visuals. It is the finest film I’ve seen in several years. I must say, a Swedish person also: Aase Berg for her novel ”Haggan”. Also amazing.

– Liv Strömquist and Caroline Ringskog Ferrada-Noli ”to A wolf looking for his pod”. Their pod is so liberating to listen to, and I feel smart and uplift of it. I would also like to recommend everyone to listen to the section on Lena Dunham.

Dramatic actor Erik Ehn, who is nominated for dagens nyheter’s cultural prize of 2019. He is a unique actor, which he shows not the very least, in the current ”Peer Gynt”. He has a peculiar charisma and is also a great colleague.
