"Alt for Norge" Casting Call

Remember the article in the October, 2010 issue of Viking about "Alt for Norge," the Norwegian reality TV show where Norwegian-Americans compete to be the most Norwegian? The show has become a hit in Norway, winning the country's Emmy Award for best reality TV series. Now entering its fourth season, the producers of "Alt for Norge" are looking for the next season's contestants to travel to Norway and compete in good-natured, extreme cultural challenges. The winner earns a reunion with long lost Norwegian relatives and a cash prize of $50,000.

You might quality if:
  • you are a fun, outgoing and adventurous American. 
  • you are of Norwegian descent—even a little Norwegian heritage is enough to qualify.
  • you have never traveled to Norway.
  • you are a U.S. citizen and at least 18 years old.
Note that there will be open casting calls in Minnesota at the Mall of America on Sat., Dec. 12 and in Chicago on Fri., Dec. 7. Applications and video submission are due Jan. 6, 2013. For more information, visit oconnorcasting.tv. Email questions to castingnorway@gmail.com.
