LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – A Chicago casting company is seeking Norwegian-Americans who are interested in taking part in a Norwegian reality show.

O'Connor Casting is now casting the third season of “Alt for Norge” – also known as “The Great Norway Adventure” – which is billed as Norway's No. 1 reality show.

They are looking for fun, outgoing and adventurous Americans of Norwegian descent – any amount of Norwegian ancestry is sufficient – to take part.

Chosen participants will travel to Norway to compete in good-natured, extreme cultural challenges to discover their rich and fascinating roots while trying to win a reunion with their long lost Norwegian relatives and a cash prize of $50,000.

In addition to having Norwegian heritage, those interested in participating must not have previously traveled to Norway, be a United States citizen and at least 18 years of age.

The application and video submission deadline is Jan. 8, 2012. Early application and video submissions receive immediate attention.

Norway shoot dates are two to nine weeks, from late April to late June 2012

This series will air in Norway and potentially in other countries as well.
