OF CULTURE AND THE ARTS
From the very outset, PRISA has worked actively
to promote the arts, culture and journalism by
honoring excellence with some of the world’s most
prestigious prizes and awards. In the field of journalism,
PRISA holds both the Ondas Awards and
the Ortega y Gasset Awards for Journalism, both
of which pay tribute to the best professionals and
productions in radio, television, online, in music
and in advertising. In the area of innovation, PRISA
is behind the Cinco Días Awards for Business
Innovation and the Digital Talent Awards, which
pay tribute to a range of initiatives in the worlds
of business, universities and corporate social responsibility.
Finally, the AS Sports Awards honor
the sporting achievements of some of the biggest
names in Spanish sports.
