The Oleksandr Dovzhenko State Prize of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Державна премія України імені Олександра Довженка, romanized: Deržavna premija Ukrajiny imeni Oleksandra Dovženka) is a state award honoring individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of Ukrainian cinema.[5] It is named after acclaimed Soviet Ukrainian film director and screenwriter Oleksandr Dovzhenko, who was among the world's top filmmakers and a major figure of the Soviet film industry.[14][15] The award was established on 10 September 1994 by Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Dovzhenko's birth.[16][17] Award decisions are made by the Committee for the Oleksandr Dovzhenko State Prize of Ukraine—a group of eleven leading figures in the country's cinema[d] appointed by either the government of Ukraine or the Committee's chair.[5] Committee members serve on a voluntary basis to review prize submissions, identify exceptional works of Ukrainian cinema, and select the prize's recipient(s).[e][5] Their selection is sent to the Ukrainian president, who officially grants the award and designates its cash amount by September 10[f] through a presidential decree.[5] As a state award, the prize is the highest national recognition for cinema in Ukraine.[26][27]

Any individual or creative team is eligible for the prize, with there being no nationality restrictions. For teams, the award submission cannot exceed five people and must comprise the group's most important contributors.[5][17] Individuals may receive the prize more than once, provided that at least five years have passed since their last award and that they have made new outstanding achievements in cinematography since then.[5] A person also cannot have nominations for two or more works open at the same time.[g] Submissions are made by various institutions and organizations[h] to the award committee annually by June 1, after which the committee votes[i] on narrowing down the best works and ultimately selecting the final awardee(s) by August 15, when the president receives the committee’s selection. Laureates of the prize receive three rewards: a diploma, medal, and cash prize.[a][5]

Since the prize was first awarded in 1995, 37 individuals have been officially given the prize, including three who were awarded posthumously.[c] Two additional individuals, director Rollan Serhiyenko and cinematographer Eduard Timlin, were selected by the award committee for the prize in 2010 (marked with italics in the table below) together with composer Volodymyr Huba for their film Declaration of Love but were not officially awarded the prize due to the required presidential decree not being signed.[b] For Huba, he was later officially given the award as the sole laureate for 2014 in recognition of his overall career and contributions to Ukrainian cinema.[30] No individual has yet officially received the prize more than once although Huba remains the sole person to have won the competition (i.e. be selected by the award committee) twice: in 2014 and in 2010's unawarded prize. In addition to 2010, there have been six years in which the prize was not awarded: 1997, 2000, 2013, 2018, 2020, and 2023.[j]

Notes

  1. ^ a b In the first years after the prize's establishment, the cash reward was denominated in Russian rubles and set at 150 times the national minimum wage.[1] In the awarding presidential decrees, this amount was indicated to be 100 million ₽ in 1995[2] and 250 million ₽ in 1996;[3] for 1998, a separate presidential decree was issued that denominated the award in Ukrainian hryvnia for the first time with the amount ₴15,000.[4] Since the 1998 award, all monetary prizes have been denominated in hryvnias, with the award's monetary quantity having generally increased in the years since, from a typical award amount of ₴50,000 in the early 2000s, ₴100,000 in the late 2000s and early 2010s, and ₴200,000 since the late 2010s. Following the enactment of an amendment to the award's rules on 4 January 1999, the minimum wage provision has also been replaced, with the amount of the cash prize instead having since been determined annually by the president,[1] with each year's awarding decree designating the amount of the reward,[5] although the reward remains funded by the Ministry of Finance.[5] In years with multiple laureates, each awardee receives a diploma and medal while the total amount of the monetary reward is divided equally. For posthumous awardees, the rewards are given to the families of the laureates.[5]
  2. ^ a b c For 2010, the award committee selected director Rollan Serhiyenko, cinematographer Eduard Timlin, and composer Volodymyr Huba as that year's laureates for their film Declaration of Love; however, because the presidential decree on awarding the prize was not signed by the president as required by the prize's rules, the award was not officially conferred.[6][7] There was no formal reason given for the lack of the decree and withholding of the prize,[6] although multiple Ukrainian news outlets have attributed it to contentions amongst officials of then-President Viktor Yanukovych's administration,[8][9][10] who had also delayed the awarding of 2010's State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology.[11]
  3. ^ a b The three laureates awarded posthumously are actor Oleg Borisov,[12] scriptwriter and director-producer Viktor Ivanov,[12] and theater and film actor Bohdan Stupka.[13]
  4. ^ The award's first committee was established on 12 December 1994 and included various prominent contributors to Ukrainian cinema, ranging from movie directors and film critics to writers and union representatives.[18] Since the inaugural committee's establishment, there have been many individual committee members who have become laureates of the award before, during, or after their committee service, including Mykola Mashchenko, Serhiy Trymbach, Yuri Ilyenko, Oleksandr Koval, Mykhailo Illienko, Kira Muratova, Oles Sanin, and Viacheslav Kryshtofovych. Although each committee iteration as a whole is limited to two four-year terms by the award's rules,[5] there have been a number of individual committee members who have served beyond eight years after being added into new committees, notably with Koval and Muratova, who both served from 1999 to 2013 as part of two different committees.[19][20][21] In addition, some individual members have previously also left their committees prior to the completion of their committee's term, such as with inaugural committee members Mykola Vinhranovsky and Ivan Drach, who both requested and subsequently were dismissed from the committee on 2 August 1996,[22] less than two years after the start of their committee's term.[18]
  5. ^ In addition to their work in accepting and reviewing submissions before selecting the prize's final winner(s), the Committee also organizes and carries out an official awards ceremony, with technical assistance from the Ministry of Culture.[5] Throughout their work, all committee members participate on a fully voluntary basis and receive no compensation for their service.[5] In the first decades after the award's establishment, all appointments and dismissals of the committee's members was done through official legislation passed by the Ukrainian government.[18] Following the enactment of an amendment to the award's rules on 15 February 2006, the committee's chair was also given the ability to make changes to the committee's membership if deemed necessary.[5]
  6. ^ Although the prize rules require the award to be granted by September 10,[5] years with the award given late remain official, with the awarding decrees for 2001, 2003, and 2005 having been issued past the date.[23][24][25]
  7. ^ Prize eligibility is also prohibited for projects that previously were nominated for or won the Shevchenko National Prize, the highest state award for culture in Ukraine,[28] although Shevchenko prize laureates are still eligible for the prize provided that they accomplish new outstanding achievements for consideration.[5][29]
  8. ^ Organizations eligible to submit works for the award include the "Ministry of Culture, creative unions, film, television, and video studios, art institutions and scientific institutions, public organizations, and editorial offices of newspapers and magazines."[5][29]
  9. ^ a b Each voting session requires a quorum of two-thirds of the committee's members for the results to be valid. Voting is held using a secret ballot, with a simple majority of committee votes needed to advance a submission for further consideration and a minimum of three-fourths of votes needed to select the final winner. The narrowed list of contenders for additional consideration is determined by June 10, after which voting on determining the final awardee begins. This shortlist for further voting is also publicized by the committee, sometime at least two months before the planned awarding of the prize, and includes the list of accepted nominations and the organizations that proposed them. Throughout the process, committee members who are involved or connected to a submission are prohibited from participating in the voting.[5]
  10. ^ For unawarded years, the award committee voted in favor of not granted the prize for 2013,[31] while in 2018, the committee could not form sufficient consensus on selecting the prizewinner(s);[32][33] causes for the other years without laureates are not reported.[34]
  11. ^ Laureates awarded posthumously are marked with a dagger (†).
  12. ^ The profession and honorifics of each laureate as listed on the awarding presidential decree is shown. For laureates awarded as part of collaborative projects, the individual's role or contribution to the project as indicated by the decree is shown.
