The awards are given in the field of technological advances, basic sciences, arts and philosophy. In each of the categories, the award rotates to cover different branches of the main area: for example, the technology award rotates between electronics, biotechnology, materials sciences, and engineering and computer sciences. The foundation was created by Japanese millionaire Kazuo Inamori, a ceramics industrialist. The prize is endowed with 50 million yen and Kyocera brand products.
