Last year's winner, Ísabella Rós, was part of the judging panel alongside her mother, Andreu Ýr Arnarsdóttur, who previously served as the mayor of Hvalfjarðarsveit.

VísirIndependentCenter7 hr. agoEvery year, one of Iceland's citizens receives the title 'Rauðhærðasti Íslendingurinn' (Red-Haired Icelander). This year, the winner is Guðný Sverrisdóttir from Hólmavík. The event took place at the Akranes town festival, 'Írskir dagar,' where the title has become a permanent fixture in the local newspaper. Twenty-two participants were registered this year. Red hair has traditionally been associated with Ireland, making the competition fitting for the festival. The judging panel included last year's winner, Ísabella Rós, and her mother, Andrea Ýr Arnarsdóttir, both of whom had red hair. The festival reached its peak yesterday with over ten thousand attendees filling the sports field for the annual 'brekkusöng' (break song), led by Hreimur Örn Heimisson and Magni Ásgeirsson. Around five thousand people attended the music festival 'Lopapeysan,' which was broadcast live and featured performances by some of Iceland's most popular musicians. Organizers stated the event went very well.
