Is there a convention to help distinguish awards with the same name?
Use case: It turns out the Morris D. Forkosch Prize is not the Morris D. Forkosch Book Award is not the Morris D. Forkosch Book Prize. Should there be a convention to make it easier for future folks to pick the right one?
I've cleaned up the first and completed the second; I'm not quickly finding a full list for the 3rd so that one will take some research.

Not that I know off, but my first choice would be to add a warning to the descriptions as the first sentences so that it is visible without clicking 'show more'

>2 SandraArdnas: Excellent advice, thanks. Done.
I know I've seen organization acronyms added to some award titles; that might work for the American Historical Association but I don't know if the Council for Secular Humanism or the Journal of the History of Ideas use their acronyms.
