In the area of innovation, PRISA is behind the Cinco Días Awards for Business Innovation, with a specific category for Corporate Social Responsibility. Ondas Awards The Ondas Awards gala, organized by PRISA’s Radio Barcelona, has been celebrating the magic of media every November for 60 years. Innovation and talent in the audiovisual sector were the theme of the Ondas Awards this year, with the big prizes also going to lifelong careers.
