“The Richard Dawkins Award will be given every year to honor an outstanding atheist whose contributions raise public awareness of the nontheist life stance; who through writings, media, the arts, film, and/or the stage advocates increased scientific knowledge; who through work or by example teaches acceptance of the nontheist philosophy; and whose public posture mirrors the uncompromising nontheist life stance of Dr. Richard Dawkins.”
— Every year’s award is unique, made from a fossil selected by the committee and mounted on a base with the recipient’s name and year of award inscribed on the base.  The use of a fossil acknowledges the natural basis of our humanity and exemplifies the values of reason, empiricism and naturalism that make up the foundations of the atheist worldview.
