NOPA, the Norwegian Society of Composers and Lyricists, is a society dedicated to the interests of composers and lyricists in Norway. With over 1400 members, NOPA works tirelessly to ensure the best possible conditions for songwriters and composers in the country. Their primary goal is to promote the creation and performance of Norwegian music.

NOPA offers a range of services and benefits to its members, including mentorship programs, legal assistance, financial advice, and subsidies for young talents. They also provide work project dwellings in cities like Berlin, Vence, and London, allowing composers and lyricists to network and concentrate on their craft while on work-related trips. Additionally, NOPA actively engages in international projects, collaborating with other organizations to offer residency, workshops, and concerts to their members.

If you're interested in becoming a member of NOPA, you must have income from copyright-related activities. They provide further information and a membership application form on their website. For any inquiries or assistance, you can contact them via email or phone.

Through their cultural policy work, copyright advocacy, and European cooperation, NOPA strives to improve the conditions and professional opportunities for all composers and lyricists
