Laureates

Each entry gives the year, the prize, the laureate's name, their country, a summary of the project and the jury's citation. Finalists are listed afterwards, without ranking. A detailed record is opened for each laureate.

The award amounts shown in the honour roll are those of the year of presentation. They may differ from those of later editions.

By way of illustration, a recent edition honoured a restoration workshop for its treatment of a polychrome altarpiece, and a family of collectors for opening its collection of graphic arts to researchers. These examples are illustrations and do not refer to any real person.

Each citation draws on the prize's public criteria: rigour of method, provenance, sharing with the public. It is signed by the chair of the jury.

Finalists appear in the honour roll because their application was judged remarkable. They are featured in the newsletter and receive a diploma at the ceremony. Their work may be taken up in the Organization's conferences.

Special mentions are awarded at the jury's discretion, without an award sum. They recognize a particular quality of a file, for example innovation or educational value.

A laureate may request the correction of information concerning them. Corrections are made on written request, after verification, and flagged at the top of the record. A laureate may also request the removal of personal contact details.

If a prize is withdrawn following a report of irregularity, the honour roll indicates this with the date and the decision of the ethics committee, in order to preserve the reliability of the whole.

Laureates are invited to keep the Organisation informed of the continuation of their project: exhibition, publication, new site. These updates are added to their profile and relayed in the newsletter.

An informal network of laureates meets each year on the sidelines of the General Assembly. It advises applicants and proposes improvements to the rules.
