About the Prize

A global award built around purpose, not prestige.

The Tedric Foundation presents its awards to recognise people whose work reflects a serious commitment to humanity, knowledge, justice and practical solutions.

The award programme is designed to bring exceptional scientific, intellectual and artistic work to wider public attention while keeping the central question clear: does this work contribute to the good of humanity?

The Tedric Award ceremony is held every two years. Award branches are determined by a special jury, with selection criteria established according to the Tedric High Advisory Board.
