The Prize honours individuals, regardless of race, nationality, and religious belief, who have achieved significant breakthrough in academic and scientific research or application, and whose work has resulted in a positive and profound impact on humankind. The Shaw Prize currently consists of three annual awards: the Prize in Astronomy, the Prize in Life Science and Medicine, and the Prize in Mathematical Sciences. Each prize carries a monetary award of US$1 million. “ ” Shaw Prize Establishment Press Release,

The Shaw Prize in Astronomy Coined as "Nobel Prize of the East" by the media

2004 P. James E. Peebles for his groundbreaking contribution to cosmology. He laid the foundations for almost all modern investigations in cosmology, both theoretical and observational, transforming a highly speculative field into a precision science. Shaw Laureates 2005 Geoffrey Marcy and Michel Mayor For finding and characterizing the orbits and masses of the first planets around other stars, thereby revolutionizing our understanding of the processes that form planets and planetary systems.

2006 Saul Perlmutter, Adam Riess, and Brian Schmidt For discovering that the expansion rate of the universe is accelerating, implying in the simplest interpretation that the energy density of space is non-vanishing even in the absence of any matter and radiation. Shaw Laureates 2007 Peter Goldreich in recognition of his lifetime achievements in theoretical astrophysics and planetary sciences.
