Originality is a major criterion. It is important whether papers are the extension of a previously existing idea or of previous work or, for example, duplication of a study that has already been done but in a different setting. It will be considered whether a paper constitutes a study of a subject that has not been previously researched or a subject that has not been satisfactorily studied in the past. Papers submitted for this award are expected to contribute clearly to the body of dental science and to have applicability to working general practitioners worldwide. A paper can be nominated by its author(s) or a person with no connection to the paper.

The award will be given to a team who has acted without personal prejudice or political influence in order to provide dental care in a humanitarian, conflict or natural disaster situation. The entry should explain how the team worked to alleviate health consequences of disasters and conflicts.
