The award is given annually to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding support for NunatuKavut and its communities and have given unselfishly of their time and energy to make a difference.

Candidates must be nominated by an NCC member and would normally be an NCC member. On an exceptional basis, NCC recognizes that there are those outside its membership who have made significant contributions. On this basis NCC will accept such nominations.

The award was first presented at the 2013 Annual General Assembly.
