Abstract: Let $D_{1}$ and $D_{2}$ be two irreducible bounded symmetric domains in the complex spaces $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ respectively. Let $E$ be the Euclidean metric on $V_{2}$ and $h$ the Bergman metric on $V_{1}$. The Bloch constant $b(D_{1}, D_{2})$ is defined to be the supremum of $E(f^{\prime }(z)x, f^{\prime }(z)x)^{\frac {1}{2}}/h_{z}(x,  x)^{1/2}$, taken over all the holomorphic functions $f: D_{1}\to D_{2}$ and $z\in D_{1}$, and nonzero vectors $x\in V_{1}$. We find the constants for all the irreducible bounded symmetric domains $D_{1}$ and $D_{2}$. As a special case we answer an open question of Cohen and Colonna.
