Past winners have included Sławomir Mrożek, Zbigniew Herbert, Alicja Iwańska, Bolesław Taborski, Adam Zagajewski, Wojciech Karpiński, Jarosław Marek Rymkiewicz, Stefan Chwin, Jerzy Pilch, Paweł Huelle, Andrzej Stasiuk, Olga Tokarczuk, Tomasz Różycki, Jacek Dehnel, Maciej Płaza,[1] Jolanta Stefko, Mikołaj Łoziński and most recently Jacek Dukaj.[2] This is the second oldest independent award in Polish literature after the Award of the Union of Polish Writers Abroad that was established in London in 1951.[3]
