Summary
Each year, a national association presents an award recognizing an individual whose scholarly work has significantly contributed to the understanding of cultural traditions through a historical lens. This honor celebrates those whose research, publications, or projects have deepened the public's appreciation of cultural heritage by integrating historical context with folkloristic analysis.
The award is open to individuals who have produced a book-length work that exemplifies a blend of historical methodology and folkloristic insight. Eligible works include authored books, edited volumes, reference materials, or exhibition catalogs. The focus is on publications that have been released within a specific timeframe, typically within the two years preceding the award year.
Nominees are typically put forward by peers who are familiar with their work. The submission process involves providing copies of the nominated work, along with supporting materials that highlight the scholarly contributions and impact of the publication. The selection committee evaluates entries based on the depth of historical and folkloristic integration, the quality of scholarship, and the significance of the work to the field.
The award is presented biennially, with winners announced at the association's annual meeting. Recipients receive a modest honorarium and public recognition for their contributions to the field. While the financial award is symbolic, the prestige associated with the recognition is significant within the academic and cultural communities.
