History
The prize was established in 1941 by Chree's sister, Jessie, after his death, and it was originally awarded biennially.[2][3][4] It was first awarded to Sydney Chapman. From 2001 it was awarded annually. After the 2008 renaming the prize was awarded in even-dated years until 2016, then as and when required.
The cash prize part of the award has risen in value since its inception, reported at £150 in 1985[5] and £300 in 1987,[6] to its present-day value of £1000.[1]
