Leonard Cohen has been awarded the prestigious Glenn Gould Prize, dubbed the "Nobel Prize of the Arts".
The award is presented biennially to "an individual for a unique lifetime contribution that has enriched the human condition through the arts."

Cohen accepted the award on Monday night [May 14] at Toronto's Massey Hall, along with the $50,000 prize money, which he then donated to the Canada Council for the Arts.
