History The award was established in 1990 by Kisielewski himself, with support of a major Polish weekly newspaper, ''Wprost''. Since Kisielewski's death in 1991, the award is being given out with the agreement of the group composed primarily of former winners of the award, Stefan Kisielewski's son Jerzy Kisielewski, and (until 2006) former Wprost's editor-in-chief Marek Król.
