The Prize is awarded to a writer whose work best expresses and promotes the idea of the ''freedom of the individual in society.'' The theme was chosen both for its wider international appeal and for its internal Israeli resonance. The modest monetary value of the Prize, currently US $10,000, reflects that it was never intended to be anything more than a symbolic sum.
