The award and special mentions are awarded biennially by the [[Slovene Art History Society]] on 22 April, the birthday of [[Izidor Cankar]] (1886&ndash;1958), one of the most important Slovenian art historians of the first part of the 20th century and one of the most influential cultural managers in inter-war Slovenia, acting also as diplomat, publicist, translator, and politician.
