Hamakor awards a prize annually, recognizing an Israeli who has made a significant and important contribution to Free Software. The awardee is determined in an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-like process, with all Hamakor members and friends being eligible to vote for the most deserving person, who is typically announced at the annual [[August Penguin]] event. In 2010, the prize was given in several categories: personal contribution, team/group or institute contribution and contribution for the Education system.
