Stage and competition for Nordic film talent<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Noorderkroon<\/h1><\/div> <\/div>\n\n
\n

Noorderkroon is the stage and competition for professional, student and amateur films by filmmakers from Friesland, Groningen or Drenthe, or films about this region. ‘Noorderkroon’ is a small constellation in the northern sky, formed by seven visible stars. These stars symbolise the seven awards we present to our own stars, the Northern filmmakers. For 2025, awards will be presented in the following categories: Best Feature Film, Best Documentary, Best Short Film (fiction), Best Short Documentary, Best Student Film, Best New Maker and Greatest Talent.<\/p>\n
