Antarctic Tuzelmann Award (Great White South)

The Antarctic Tuzelmann Award (ATA) is one of (if not the) most prestigious award bestowed unto an Antarctic citizen. Similar to the Nobel Peace Prize, the ATA is awarded annually to any citizen in one of the Antarctic territories who have made outstanding contributions to their country, their continent, keeping peace and promoting equality. Until 1950 a government chosen committee in Maudland presented the ATA until The Antarctic Tuzelmann Award Committee was formed at the South Pole with 22 members. To date, Maudland has been the recipients of most of the awards with Santiago coming second.
