The Ann Waterfall Award, initially established in 1990 as the "Best Student of Portuguese Prize," stands as a prestigious accolade awarded by the Anglo-Portuguese Society. This recognition celebrates exceptional achievements in the study of Portuguese language and culture.

Renamed in 2011 in honor of Ann Waterfall, it serves as a beacon for students and scholars who demonstrate remarkable dedication, insight, and proficiency in their exploration of Portuguese linguistic and cultural heritage.

Recipients of the Ann Waterfall Award join a group of individuals whose contributions have significantly advanced the understanding and appreciation of Portuguese studies. The award not only acknowledges past accomplishments but also encourages continued scholarly pursuit and cross-cultural engagement between the United Kingdom and the Portuguese-speaking world.

Through this annual recognition, the Anglo-Portuguese Society reaffirms its role in bridging cultures, fostering international understanding, and nurturing the next generation of experts in Portuguese studies.
