The Prize called for submissions from all researchers at a Hong Kong institution of higher education with their first English scholarly monograph of humanities. The academy invited scholars with specific expertise in the field of the entry to review the submissions and will institute an annual prize for the best-submitted manuscript by a humanities scholar. The awardee of the year will be awarded a contract with Springer for the book to be published in The Humanities in Asia (THIA) series and a Junior Fellowship at the Academy for a five year term.
