THE REASON BEHIND THE AWARDS

Here at Fundación Telefónica we firmly believe that helping to change the world deserves an award and, with this in mind, with these awards, we seek to identify and disseminate the best volunteer initiatives in Spain.

The awards are aimed at rewarding the cultivation of the values associated with volunteering through their dissemination in the media; the promotion and their efforts in educational areas; and in the work carried out by the social and corporate entities themselves, given that all of them contribute to the social progress and well-being in an extraordinary manner. The winner of each category will receive a prize of €5,000, which will be reinvested into the type of projects and entities established for each category.

CATEGORIES

The Awards are divided into five categories:

1.Communication.This category is open to any media and content authors who stand out for their scope and value in raising awareness of and informing on volunteering in Spain.
