Secularist of the Year
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Secularist of the Year award (a.k.a. The Irwin Prize) is presented annually to the individual considered to have made the greatest contribution to secularism in the previous year by the UK's National Secular Society. The prize is a cheque for £5000 (approximately $10,000). The prize was first awarded in 2005, and is sponsored by Dr. Michael Irwin.
