The award is given annually to recognize physicists who are within seven years of completing their PhD at the time of initial nomination for their outstanding contributions in lattice field theory.
The prize consists of a certificate citing the contributions of the recipient, a modest monetary award, and an invitation to present the cited work in a short plenary talk at the 42nd Lattice Conference, which will take place at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, India from the 2nd to the 8th of November 2025. The registration fee for the conference will be waived.
