Each year the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science may offer one prize known as the First Year Science Communication Prize.

The objective of the prize is to recognise excellence in science communication studies by a student enrolled in first year science communication courses.

The value of the prize awarded is $200.

The prize will be on offer in perpetuity, provided there is funding for it.

Funding for this prize has been provided by donors to the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science Endowment, which was established in 2013.
