User:MrFringilla/Ockham Awards

The Ockham Awards is an annual award presented by The Skeptic Magazine in recognition to great achievements in skeptical activism. The award ceremony usually takes place as part of the saturday night entertainment during the annual QED - Question, Explore, Discover conference in Manchester, UK.

In 2012, Deborah Hyde came up with the idea of a prize that could be given to those with serious achievements within different fields of skeptical activism in order to provide recognition to people investing large amounts of work in promoting science and skepticism. Starting that year, the Ockham Awards Ceremony has been an annual event at "QED - Question, Explore, Discover". The prize is officially awarded by The Skeptic magazine in several categories, agreed upon by a committee featuring renowned skeptics (Prof. Chris French, Prof. Richard Wiseman, Wendy Grossman, Jon Ronson and Simon Singh)
