Ig Nobel Prize was created in 1991.

"Ignoble" means "not noble", "ig" can be regarded as a prefix meaning "not".

If the Nobel prize is awarded for "outstanding achievements", the Ig Nobel is then the other prize, the opposite.

The Ig Nobel prize ceremony is an annual event that is a parody of the Nobel prize ceremony. The prizes vary by category and year, usually the prizes are a small plaque or statue, much like the Nobel prizes.
