History[edit]
The prize is awarded by the Royal Anniversary Trust, a registered charity founded in 1990 to develop a program to mark 1992 as the 40th year of Elizabeth II's reign as British monarch. The program had these four goals:
- celebrate the anniversary
- establish an educational award
- promote cultural awareness of the development of the United Kingdom's constitutional monarchy
- to promote commerce, industry, and the advancement of education
The educational award which the Royal Anniversary Trust established was the Queen's Anniversary Prize.[1]
