International Humor Sapiens Award2025

With the purpose of recognizing and encouraging the study, reflection, and promotion of humor as a cultural, artistic, social, and human phenomenon, the Humor Sapiens International Award was created.

This annual award is granted by the website Humor Sapiens, a reference platform in the field of humor studies since its foundation in 2013. The prize seeks to highlight the work of those who, through research, teaching, criticism, creation, or cultural management, contribute significantly to the understanding and appreciation of humor in its many dimensions.

Each year, the Humor Sapiens International Award is presented in two categories:

a) Outstanding Individual: to a scholar, researcher, thinker, or promoter of humor.

b) Outstanding Institution: to an organization, center, or entity that fosters the knowledge, practice, or dissemination of humor for cultural, artistic, educational, or social purposes.

Through this award, Humor Sapiens reaffirms its vocation to be a bridge between laughter and thought, between fun and wisdom, between humor and its rigorous study.

We invite the entire community engaged with reflective and cultural humor to send us well-argued nominations of candidates (both individuals and institutions) deemed worthy of this recognition.
