The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the award to The Summer Dad Turned Gay:
"This year's best production for children and youth is at one and the same time a humorous, absurd, burlesque, sensible, warm and slightly embarrassing story about the difficult puberty. In addition, it is liberatingly disarming about themes that are still taboo, such as sexuality, divorce issues and homophobia. One rarely sees a production in which everything is told from the youth's perspective, direct, undisguised, playful and in an unusually rich language without seeming affected. This was real."
