The winner of the 'SkyShowtime Rising Star Award' will be announced during the Stockholm Film Festival's Award Ceremony in November 2023.
The Rising Star Award was founded in 2008 with the goal of highlighting young actors who have delivered outstanding performances in film and television throughout the year and have the potential to become tomorrow's big stars. The purpose of the award is to early on showcase Swedish talents in their careers and invite them to the Stockholm Film Festival, where they have the opportunity to network within the film industry. The winner also receives a trip to the Cannes Film Festival the following year, where they can meet international industry professionals and attend Red Carpet screenings. Among the prize winners and nominees are notable names such as Alicia Vikander, Joel Kinnaman, Rebecca Ferguson, Alba August, Edvin Ryding, Lancelot Ncube, and most recently, the acclaimed actor Sara Shirpey.
