Note: The prize recognizes work published within a specific timeframe (typically five years) of the scholar receiving their advanced degree. The date listed is the year the award was conferred.
The exact year of the first award is not explicitly stated in one place, historical documents indicate the prize was being regularly awarded by the early 2000s. The ASSC website mentions that the 2025 prize was the 22nd edition,[3] which would imply the first award was in 2004.
