The Tchernichovsky Prize is an Israeli award given to people for outstanding work in translating books into Hebrew. The prize is given by the Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality. It was first given every year, but now it is given every two years. The prize was created in 1942 and is named after the poet Shaul Tchernichovsky. Shaul Tchernichovsky helped create the rules for the prize and was present at the first ceremony in 1943.
