Tal Nitzan has been named as one of the winners of the coveted Israeli prize for exemplary language translation into Hebrew, specifically for her translation of poetry and prose written in a number of languages, and especially for her Spanish translation.

Sharing the prize this year is Dr. Aminadav Dykman who has translated poetry written in a number of ancient and modern languages. His most important translation is considered by some to be an anthology of 17th century European poetry.

The judges on the prize committee awarded the NIS (New Israeli Shekel) 18,000 prize to Dykman and Nitzan for their years of effort and achievement in langauge translation work.

The Tchernichovsky Prize is an Israeli prize awarded to individuals for exemplary works of translation into Hebrew. It is awarded by the municipality of Tel Aviv-Yafo. Although initially awarded annually, it is now awarded every two years.

The prize was founded, in the name of the poet Shaul Tchernichovsky, following a 1942 resolution of the municipality. Tchernichovsky himself participated in formulating the policies for the grant of the award and attended the first award ceremony for the prize in 1943.
