The Finnish State Prize for Art 2005

Dear Friends,

I just want to inform you about the unexpected 'Christmas present' that I recently got...

I received the 2005 Finnish State Prize for Art. The prize ceremony was held on November 23rd, the recognition was awarded by the Arts Council of Finland.

Below is the basic info and official statement about the State Prize (on the web site of the Arts Council of Finland) -- the texts are in Finnish only (sorry). This kind of official art ceremonies are not very close to me, but anyway this happened...
