Schock prize
(Redirected from Rolf Schock prize)
The Schock Prizes were instituted by the will of philosopher and artist Rolf Schock (1933-1986). The Prizes were first awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, 1993 and have been awarded every two years since. Each recipient currently receives 400,000 Swedish kronor, which is a little over $50,000 USD.

- Logic and Philosophy (decided by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences)
- Mathematics (decided by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences)
- Visual Arts (decided by the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts)
