The Fraternity Award (Spanish: Premio Fraternidad) is an honor given annually by the Uruguayan branch of B'nai B'rith.

History

The Uruguayan branch of B'nai B'rith created the Fraternity Award in 1982, to promote the arts and to support national artists in the areas of Literature, Plastic Arts, Visual Arts, Dance, Theater, and Music. The prize consists of granting a trip to Israel and a country in Europe, which allows the winner to get in touch with the development and cultural projection of other areas. The winner performs a concert, exhibition, play, or lecture.[1][2]

Since 1986, it has been given together with the Golden Candelabrum Award, when the juror Alberto Candeau took the initiative to recognize the career of Uruguayan artists.

In 2012 the award was declared to be of national interest by President José Mujica.[3]
