Schock Prize



         


The Schock Prizes were instituted by the will of philosopher and artist Rolf Schock (1933-1986). The Prizes were first awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, 1993 and have been awarded every two years since. Each recipient currently receives 400,000 Swedish krona, which is a little over $50,000 USD.

The Prizes are given in four categories and decided by committees of three of the Swedish Royal Academies:
