Three hundred twenty-two nominations from 49 nationalities have been submitted for the Princess of Asturias Awards in this their 43rd year.

The deadline for submitting nominations closed yesterday, Thursday, 2nd March. Laureates from previous editions and jury members may submit their own proposals until six calendar days before the date of convening the jury corresponding.

Those who have submitted nominations include prestigious universities, academic and cultural institutions, research centres of international scope, Spain’s ambassadors, representatives of the accredited diplomatic corps in Spain and laureates from previous years.

Around 180 public figures, expert in each of the fields, will make up the eight Juries (one for each Award), the meetings of which will be held in April, May and June in Oviedo.

As is customary, the solemn presentation of the Princess of Asturias Awards will be held in October and will be presided over by Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain, accompanied by Their Royal Highnesses the Princess of Asturias and Infanta Sofía.

There are eight Princess of Asturias Awards: the Arts, Social Sciences, Communication and Humanities, Concord, International Cooperation, Sports, Technical and Scientific Research and Literature. As stated in the Regulations governing their conferral, the awards are aimed at “those individuals and/or institutions that contribute to progress and social well-being in an extraordinary and exemplary way through their work and merits in scientific, technical, cultural, social and humanitarian fields. The repercussions of this work should always be considered in the broadest sense; that is, its contribution to the field should be of international scope and/or be acknowledged at an international level.”

Each Princess of Asturias Award comprises a Joan Miró sculpture representing and symbolising the Award, a diploma, an insignia and a cash prize of €50,000.
