Scholarships are awarded in four categories: for secondary school, for undergraduate university study, for graduate study and for artistic study.

The panel of judges sought to select ambitious, exceptional students with an interesting future vision who are likely, in the opinion of the panel, to enrich the Icelandic social fabric in the long term. Other factors taken into consideration included research and written articles, voluntary service, participation in sports and in social activities, etc.

Sara Pálsdóttir, Managing Director of Communication & Culture at Landsbankinn, presented the scholarship recipients with flowers on the occasion.

The panel of judges was comprised of Runólfur Smári Steinthórsson, Professor at the University of Iceland, Guðrún Norðfjörð, Project Manager at Aton JL and Sigríður Guðmundsdóttir, HR Manager at Landsbankinn.
