Ig Nobel Prize

About The Ig® Nobel Prizes

The Ig Nobel Prizes honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think. The prizes are intended to celebrate the unusual, honor the imaginative — and spur people's interest in science, medicine, and technology. Every year, in a gala ceremony in Harvard's Sanders Theatre, 1200 splendidly eccentric spectators watch the winners step forward to accept their Prizes. These are physically handed out by genuinely bemused genuine Nobel laureates.

The 28th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony will happen on Thursday, September 13, 2018. Tickets will go on sale in July.

The 27th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony happened on Thursday, September 14, 2017. The ceremony was broadcast live online (as it has been every year beginning in 1995), and is archived on the Improbable Research YouTube Channel.
