Valz Prize

The Valz Prize was established in June 1874 when the widow of astronomer Benjamin Valz, Marie Madeleine Julie Malhian,{{cite web | title = Les Professeurs des Dacultés des Lettres et des Sciences en France au XIXe Siècle (1808-1880) |author1=Françoise Huguet |author2=Boris Noguès | publisher = Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique | date = June 2011 | url = http://facultes19.ish-lyon.cnrs.fr/fiche.php?indice=1456}} donated 10,000 francs to establish a prize in honor of her late husband. The Valz Prize was to be awarded for work of similar stature as that honored by the pre-existing Lalande Prize. The first Valz Prize was awarded in 1877 to brothers Paul and Prosper Henry, and was for the sum of 460 francs.

Save for 1924, the French Academy of Sciences awarded the Valz Prize annually from 1877 to 1943. After 1943, the prize was awarded only sporadically (only once per decade from 1950 to 1970). In 1970, the Valz Prize was combined with the Lalande Prize to create the Lalande-Valz Prize, which continued to be awarded through 1996. In 1997, that prize was combined with numerous other Academy prizes to create the Grande Médaille.
