The $50,000 prize was created in July 2020 by Bradley Tusk and Howard Wolfson to “support New York City and its arts community by recognizing what makes the city so special as it enters a challenging recovery from Covid-19.” The award jury is Anna Akbari, Ric Burns, Stephanie Danler, Christina Greer, Tom Healy, Mitchell Moss, Safiya Sinclair, and Dennis Walcott.
