George Gershwin was immensely famous during his lifetime, but he doesn't seem to have won any awards. He and his brother Ira were nominated, in 1938, for an Academy Award for the best song in a film, "They Can't Take That Away From Me," from the movie "Shall We Dance?". In 1932 the musical play "Of Thee I Sing" won the Pulitzer Prize for the author and the lyricist, Ira Gershwin. George's music was passed over. There was no Pulitzer Prize in music until 1943.
The Archibald Prize was named after John Feltham Archibald who was later then known as Jules Francois Archibald. The Archibald prize was named after his death in 1919, where he left 89,061 pounds (which is 139,626 USD or 142,796 AUD). After his death one-tenth of the prize was provided for the Archibald prize to commence.
