The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the award to Dahl, Halle, Lohre and Nordhagen:

"When theatre is at its best, the singular elements flow together into a whole. Then, we get to experience that just this play had to be conveyed just like this, just now. This year's winner in the category of best audiovisual design is small in format, but great in artistic skill. In close collaboration with the other elements of the performance, the stage design, video and sound design create images both suggesting and expanding the understanding of the material. Music and sound design become part of a whole in which drama and tenderness, sense of adventure and longing find their expressions without overdoing the effects."

For Oslo Nye Teater (Oslo New Theatre), Christine Lohre has made the stage design for the puppetry production Aladdin and the Magical Lamp (2004), for which she was nominated for The Hedda Award 2005 in the best stage design, costume design and lighting design category. She also created the stage design for Life Machine by Lene Therese Teigen, with its world premiere at Oslo Nye Teater (Oslo New Theatre), Centralteatret the spring of 2005. She has worked a lot with Norwegian contemporary drama and has received a three-year working grant from Arts Council Norway.

Among the productions she has contributed to are King Lear and A Christmas Carol at The National Stage, Mio, My Son and The Story of Ferdinand at Oslo Nye Teater (Oslo New Theatre), Moon for the Misbegotten at Rogaland Theatre and The Brothers Lionheart at Brageteatret, among other projects.
