Hello, for my studies in communication design I have to make a poster for Germany's guest of honor this year. There are some more specifics but it's not relevant here. This time it's Norway and I thought I could take advantage of this multicultural community and channel some Norwegian people or others that are familiar with the country to help me out.

It's kind of hard for an outsider to list a lot of things that Norway is known for actually, as Scandinavian countries seem to be quite similar. For the list it can be anything really. Thx in advance.

So far I have:

Fjords
Nature in general
Cold weather
Sports (Skiing, Base Jumping, extreme sports)
Vikings
Folklore -> Trolls, Elves, Witches
Norse mythology

Not norwegian but there is fishing, smithing and helgefylla.

I live in Lofoten, AMA

Wow that's already more than I could ask for, thanks a ton guys it really helps, esp Ezeth. If you guys still have more, maybe something more object-based? Away from "abstract stuff" like the political system and education system since they are not the easiest to display. Maybe known wood figures, weapons, ornaments or sth?

I luv u Ezeth, thanks. I will keep you posted when I am progressing.

Here is it, it is very rushed because apparently the deadline was today and the professor told us yesterday so I pulled an all nighter. But I guess it's good enough for the contest, at least from what I have seen from my study mates. Hope I did you viking people at least a bit of justice, thx again for the help. Maybe I'll win the 1,5k prize money.

It looks really, really good! Hope you win the contest.
