Heiðdís Hanna Sigurðardóttir, meistaranemi í sköpun, miðlun og frumkvöðlastarfi (NAIP) við tónlistardeild LHÍ hlýtur í ár viðurkenningu úr styrktarsjóði Önnu Karólínu Nordal. Sjóðurinn er stofnaður af Önnu Karólínu sem fæddist í Vesturheimi árið 1902 og lést árið 1998. Hún bjó alla tíð í Kanada og kom aldrei til Íslands en hafði engu að síður sterkar taugar til landsins og sýndi ættlandi sínu og Íslendingum mikla ræktarsemi eins og sjóðurinn er fagur vitnisburður um.  Anna var alþýðukona og mikill unnandi tónlistar og vildi styrkja ungt tónlistarfólk í námi og hvetja til frekari árangurs.
