Since no ceremony was held last year due to the pandemic, the recipients from 2020 received their medals during the ceremony.

The Prince Eugen medal was instituted by King Gustaf V in connection with Prince Eugen's 80th birthday in 1945. The medal is awarded in recognition of outstanding artistic achievements.
