History
The award was established in 1990 by Kisielewski himself, with support of a major Polish weekly newspaper, Wprost. Since Kisielewski's death in 1991, the award is being given out with the agreement of the group composed primarily of former winners of the award, his son Jerzy Kisielewski and (until 2006) former Wprost's editor-in-chief Marek Król.
In 2007, 2008 and 2009 the award was not given out, which caused some controversy, as many former winners criticized Wprost for drifting away from Kisielewski's views.
