Keep There is significant coverage of the medal in reliable sources going back well over half a century. Here is just one example from a
recent biography of Georgia O'Keeffe. In 1988,
William Styronpraised the award and its recipients. The New York Times published
extensive coverage of the fact that bitter enemies
Lillian Hellman and
Mary McCarthy had both won the award. I know that notability is not inherited, but when you look at the long list of luminaries who have won the award and spoken at its annual ceremony, well, logic and common sense must be brought to the process of evaluation.

Keep - the award was significantly covered by the media (as shown in the souces in the article), and the recipients (all notable themselves) apparently thought very highly of it. Passes easily

Keep As Kraxler says, the recipients are clearly notable and with sources like the NYTimes, the BBC and Washington Post, I believe the medal is notable in itself.
