The Tchernichovsky Prize for exemplary translation has been awarded to Dr. Aminadav Dykman and Tal Nitzan.

The committee of judges for the prize, which is awarded by the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality, awarded the NIS 18,000 prize to Dykman and Nitzan for their years of effort and achievement in translation work.

Dykman has translated poetry written in a number of ancient and modern languages. Some consider his most important translation to be an anthology of 17th century European poetry.

Nitzan is receiving the prize for a diverse corpus of translation of poetry and prose written in a number of languages, especially Spanish.
