The criteria are the significance of the research, relevance for the anthropology of work, clarity and effectiveness of the presentation, and appeal to a wider audience in anthropology and beyond.

The prize is awarded to the paper that best demonstrates an anthropological approach to the study of work in the tradition of political-economic scholarship modeled and encouraged by Eric Wolf.
The Conrad M. Arensberg Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the anthropology of work, from inside the discipline and beyond. Since 2002, it has been awarded in even-numbered years.
