The jury responsible for conferring the 2013 Prince of Asturias Award for Concord will meet this coming 3rd and 4th September in Oviedo. This is the last of the eight international awards convened by the Prince of Asturias Foundation this year, in this its thirty-third edition.
According to the Statutes of the Foundation, the Prince of Asturias Awards aim “to reward scientific, technical, cultural, social and humanitarian work carried out at an international level by individuals, institutions or groups of individuals or institutions”. In keeping with these principles, the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord shall be conferred on those “whose work contributes outstandingly to the defence of human rights, to the promotion of peace, freedom, solidarity, the protection of heritage and, in general, to the progress of Mankind”.
The Regulations establish that the following may present nominations for the different Prince of Asturias Award categories: award winners from previous editions, those personalities and institutions invited to do so by the Foundation, Spanish embassies, diplomatic missions in Spain, the members of the eight Juries, provided they do not submit nominations for the Award in the category corresponding to the jury of which they are a member, and other personalities and institutions of renown.
There are 37 nominations in the running for this Award from Argentina, Bangladesh, Belarus, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, Egypt, El Salvador, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela and Spain.
The Award comprises a Joan Miró sculpture representing and symbolising the accolade, a cash prize of €50,000, a diploma and an insignia.
The jury for the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord -which, as usual, will be composed largely of members of the Boards of Trustees of the Foundation- will meet at the Reconquista Hotel.
Deliberations will commence at 5:30pm on Tuesday, 3rd September, in the hotel’s Salón Covadonga (Chapel) and the jury’s decision will be made public at 12 noon the following day, Wednesday, in the same room. Following this, the members of the jury may be interviewed.
This is the last of the eight Prince of Asturias Awards to be bestowed this year, in what is their 33rd edition. Previously, the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts was conferred on the Austrian filmmaker and playwright Michael Haneke, the Award for Social Sciences to the Dutch sociologist Saskia Sassen, the Award for Communication and Humanities to the American photographer Annie Leibovitz, the Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research was jointly bestowed on the physicists Peter Higgs (UK) and François Englert (Belgium) together with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature on the Spanish writer Antonio Muñoz Molina, the Award for International Cooperation on the Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science and the Prince of Asturias Award for Sports was conferred on the Spanish golfer José María Olazábal.
