The Templeton Prize was established in 1972 and is awarded annually by the Templeton Foundation to a living person who, in the estimation of the judges, best exemplifies "trying various ways for discoveries and breakthroughs to expand human perceptions of divinity and to help in the acceleration of divine creativity," ''...including research in love, creativity, purpose, infinity, intelligence, thanksgiving and prayer''. The prize is named after Sir John Templeton , an American -born British entrepreneur and businessman, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1987 for his philanthropic efforts. The monetary value of the prize (795,000 GBP or approx. 1.4 million US dollars in 2006) is adjusted so that it exceeds that of the Nobel Prize s. The prize is, as of 2006, the largest single annual financial prize award given to an individual for intellectual merit. The prize has been typically presented by Prince Phillip in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace . PRIZE WINNERS
