The Editorial Board of Studia Biblica Slovaca is now accepting nominations for the Jozef Búda Award for 2025–2026. The award is presented to an individual working in the field of biblical exegesis and exegetical research of the Holy Scriptures. An important criterion is the nominee’s scholarly and scientific contribution to at least one of the biblical disciplines – philology, history, exegesis, or theology.

Nominations may be submitted by 28 December 2026 to redakcia@biblica.sk.

The Jozef Búda Award has been presented since 2012, when it was first awarded for the period 2011–2012. Its purpose is to express gratitude and recognition, as well as to provide financial support for scholarly and scientific work in the field of biblical exegesis and research, both in Slovakia and internationally. The award builds on the contributions of previous laureates, honours other distinguished scholars, and seeks to promote the overall development of biblical studies.

The award is sponsored by Cleopas, a civic association. You can learn more about previous laureates on this page.
