Opening and awarding of the Caper Prize

The Caper Prize will be awarded on Torvet.

The Caper Prize is an award that was originally given to local war heroes, but which in recent years has been given as a tribute to people who have excelled or made a good contribution to the joy and benefit of the local community in Farsund. This year is the 34th time the prize has been awarded.

The pirate award consists of a graphic print by Torgeir Schjølberg
