©FPA
195 candidatures from 54 countries have been nominated for this year's Prince of Asturias Awards, now being held for the thirty-third time.
The deadline for nominations ended on Thursday, 14th March, except for the Concord Award, for which the deadline is 18th July, as the jury bestowing this award meet in September. Jury members may make their own proposals up to a minimum of three days before the date established for convening the corresponding jury.
Those institutions and individuals presenting nominations include prestigious universities, academic institutions and research centres of international scope, directors of the main museums worldwide, prior laureates of the Prince of Asturias Awards and other personalities, Spain's ambassadors and representatives of the accredited diplomatic corps in Spain.
Over hundred and fifty public figures, each one an expert in one of the categories, make up the eight Juries (one for each of the Awards) that will begin their deliberations in Oviedo in the beginning of May.
The Prince of Asturias Awards presentation ceremony will be held at Oviedo's Campoamor Theatre in October. The gala ceremony is to be presided by H.R.H. the Prince of Asturias.
There are eight Award categories: Communication and Humanities, Arts, Literature, Social Sciences, Scientific and Technical Research, International Cooperation, Sports and Concord. Each is intended to "acknowledge the scientific, technical, cultural, social and humanitarian work in the international milieu done by individuals, institutions or groups of individuals or institutions" and candidatures should meet the requirement of "being outstandingly exemplary and their work or contribution should be of acknowledged international standing."
Each Prince of Asturias Award comprises a Joan Miró sculpture, representing and symbolising the Awards, a cash prize of 50,000 euros, a diploma and an insignia.
