South Carolina Humanities annually presents the South Carolina Awards in the Humanities Luncheon & Ceremony to recognize outstanding humanists in the Palmetto State.
The 34th annual event will take place on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. at the Pastides Alumni Center (900 Senate St, Columbia, SC 29201).
Established in 1991, the Governor’s Awards in the Humanities celebrate the Palmetto State’s humanities academics and advocates. The Akers Prize, formerly the Fresh Voices in the Humanities Award, recognizes innovative individuals who use culture and history to bring people together, but whose efforts may have gone relatively unnoticed beyond their own community. SC Humanities has awarded 103 Governor’s Awards since 1991 and 16 Fresh Voices Awards/Akers Prizes since 2018. The new McMeekin Award honors individuals who promote and uphold the values of the humanities through service and advocacy in their professional lives, outside of the realms of academia and traditional humanities professions.
