Centenary Prize The Centenary Prize is an award granted annually by the United Kingdom-based Royal Society of Chemistry to up to three "outstanding chemists, who are also exceptional communicators, from overseas". The prize, established in 1947, and first awarded in 1949, by the RSC's forerunner, the Chemical Society , is named after the centenary of that organisation's founding, in 1841.
