Lead evaluation
The lead clearly describes the topic in an easy to understand way. All major sections of the topic are covered, but I would like to add the date at which the annual prize is given. Minor details are lefts out of the lead including the date of ceremony and amount of cash prize. Lead could add a sentence or two. Not too lengthly

The content covered was in mostly the history of the person named after it, James Brudner. I would like to see more information about previous winners and their social impact to deserve the award.

I would like to see other names of the people involved in putting the event together and the panel that decide that years winner.
