The Vikelas Plaque was introduced in 2007. It is awarded to those who have made a specific and visible contribution to a topic of Olympic history. This could be by way of a lecture, paper book, or by spreading knowledge of Olympic history through an exhibition. In some cases it could be a combination of these. The award was named after the first President of the IOC, Dimitrios Vikelas, who was both a literary figure and diplomat, but specifically dedicated the later years of his life to the Olympics and was the key figure in bringing the Games of 1896 to Athens.
