Jerusalem Medal for Culture, Arts and Literature

It is often awarded by Palestinian institutions or cultural organizations to individuals who have demonstrated excellence or made considerable contributions in their respective fields, whether through writing, art, music, or cultural leadership.

The specifics of the award, such as its founding date, frequency of awarding, and selection criteria, might vary based on the institution or authority administering it. Typically, the medal serves to acknowledge and celebrate works that reflect the history, identity, and resilience of Jerusalem and its people, often highlighting themes of heritage, resistance and human experience. It's a form of recognition for those who, through their artistic or literary endeavours, have contributed to preserving and enriching the cultural landscape of Jerusalem. As with many cultural awards, the Jerusalem Medal for Culture, Arts, and Literature not only honours individual achievements but also underscores the importance of cultural and artistic expression in society.
