The P O Hviezdoslav Award is conferred annually on a distinguished figure in Slovak studies abroad, for example a foreign translator of original Slovak literature and its promoter. It constitutes the highest award in this field. The P O Hviezdoslav Award has been around since 1972. From 1972-4 it was awarded by the Ministry of Culture, from 1975 by the Writers Association, and since 1989 by the Association of Slovak Writers Organisations (AOSS) and the Slovak Writers Society.
