Athalie Richardson Irvine Clarke Prize - Nominations and Selection

Nominations and Selection

The Clarke Prize was established by NWRI in 1993 in honor of the late Athalie Richardson Irvine Clarke, co-founder of NWRI. The Prize was established in collaboration with Joan Irvine Smith, co-founder of NWRI and the daughter of Clarke.

Clarke Prize Laureates are active researchers and/or practitioners who demonstrate excellence through their continuous contributions to the body of knowledge related to protecting, maintaining, treating, and reclaiming water resources. The Clarke Prize is one of only a dozen water prizes awarded worldwide and has been distinguished by the International Congress of Distinguished Awards as one of the most prestigious awards in the world.

Nominations for the Clarke Prize, as well as related credentials and letters of recommendation, must be received by March 1 of each year. The Clarke Prize recipient is selected by the Clarke Prize Executive Committee.
