The recipients of the 2019 Vilcek Prizes exemplify the broad range of immigrant contributions to American society. Learn more about biomedical researcher Angelika Amon and chef Marcus Samuelsson.
 
The recipients are nominated by founders Jan and Marica Vilcek and confirmed by the foundation’s board of directors; the Vilcek Prize for Excellence is awarded according to merit, and therefore may not be conferred every year. This prize includes a $100,000 cash award and is presented at an awards ceremony in New York City.
 
The Vilcek Foundation regrets that, due to staffing limitations, it cannot respond to unsolicited nominations.
 
The Vilcek Prizes are awarded annually to immigrants who have made lasting contributions to American society. Two prizes are awarded, one in biomedical science and one in a rotating category of the arts and humanities; this year, the arts and humanities prize recognizes immigrant accomplishments in the culinary arts. (Previous categories include music, film, architecture, literature, dance, contemporary music, design, fashion, theatre, and fine arts.)
 
Vilcek Prizewinners receive a $100,000 cash award and a trophy, uniquely designed for each winner by Stefan Sagmeister. The foundation presents the Vilcek Prizes in an awards ceremony each spring in New York City.
 
Selection Process
The foundation appoints nominators, experts in their fields, and asks them to submit the names of potential award winners to two juries: one composed of medical researchers, and the other, experts in the cultural discipline under consideration for the current year. Each jury selects one award winner and submits its recommendation to the Vilcek Foundation's Board of Directors for final approval.
 
The Vilcek Foundation regrets that, due to staffing limitations, it cannot respond to unsolicited nominations.
