Honoring outstanding Ph.D. dissertations or the first postdoctoral monograph on the subject "God and Spirituality (broadly understood)", the prize is given to ten upcoming researchers from the most diverse regions of the world. Every year 23 committee members, currently from 19 different countries, select the winners."
