The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song is an award given to a composer or performer for their lifetime contributions to popular music.
George Gershwin won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1950 posthumously for his opera "Porgy and Bess." The award recognized the work's significant contribution to American music. Gershwin's composition, which premiered in 1935, is celebrated for its blend of classical and jazz elements.
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.
