The Dan David Prize is the world’s largest history prize, awarding 9 prizes annually of $300,000 each to early and midcareer scholars and practitioners in the historical disciplines, to acknowledge their outstanding achievements and support future work.

The first cohort of winners of the new prize received their awards in May 2022, and we are now pleased to invite nominations for the 2023 Dan David Prize.

Nominees can come from any field related to the study of the human past, both within academia and outside it.


We are looking for researchers in disciplines such as history, archaeology, art history, digital humanities and human palaeontology, as well as independent scholars, public historians, museum curators and documentary filmmakers.
