Sharon Commins and her Ugandan colleague Hilda Kawuki have been awarded this year's Hugh O'Flaherty Humanitarian Award.
The two aid workers were captured by an armed gang in Darfur in July and spent over 100 days in captivity.
They were released unharmed late last month.
They were put forward for the award by four aid work agencies.
