The Shpilman International Prize for Excellence in Photography is an international bi-yearly photography prize awarded by Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
Shpilman International Prize for Excellence in Photography was created by Shalom Shpilman in 2010 and was awarded once a year. After Shpilman Institute of Photography was closed in 2013, Shpilman Family endowed the Israel Museum in Jerusalem to award the prize once every two years. The main goal of the prize is award the individuals who work in photography as an important modern visual art. The amount of prize is 45000 USD and it is awarded every two years. The decision is made based on the review by international jury of five jurors, appointed by Israel Museum. The candidates may submit their application for prize by nomination of art professionals, working with Israel Museum.
