The Low Countries History Award is presented once every three years and is made possible by the KNHG as the publisher of BMGN – Low Countries Historical Review, for the best article from the previous three volumes.
The first granting of the award took place in 20016 during the KNHG’s Annual Conference for historians and was won by Tjamke Snijders. In 2019, Nicole L. Immler was awarded the prize for her article on the importance of the Rawagede case for acknowledging Dutch colonial past in the courtroom. In 2022, the award was won by Dieter Bruneel (†) and Leon Wessels for their article on constitutional debates on hunting and property rights in the United Kingdom of the Netherlands.
