The National Prize for Arts and Sciences (Spanish : Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes ) is awarded annually by the Government of Mexico in six categories. It is part of the Mexican Honours System and was established in 1945 by President Manuel Ávila Camacho to promote the country's artistic, scientific, and technological advancement.[ 1]
It is awarded to one or more persons or to a non-governmental organization that meets the conditions of the prize, in one of the following categories:
Linguistics and literature
Fine Arts
History, Social Sciences and Philosophy
Physics, Mathematics and Natural Sciences
Technology and Design
Popular arts and traditions
In 2015, the prize was divided between National Prize for Arts and National Prize for Science . The former is awarded by the Secretariat of Culture and the latter by Secretariat of Public Education .
The prize is a gold medal, a rosette , a diploma signed by the President of Mexico and over $823,313.95 pesos (Approximately $40,000 US dollars).[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
Prior to 1945, a National Literature Prize (Spanish : Premio Nacional de Literatura ) was established by the Secretariat of Public Education , which ceased to be awarded after the creation of the present prize.
In a controversial move, in 2020 Bertha Cecilia Navarro y Solares, movie producer, was awarded an ″extraordinary distinction.″[ 5] [ 6]
