National Award for Plastic Arts (Spain)

The National Award for Plastic Arts (Spanish: Premio Nacional de Artes Plásticas) is one of Spain's National Culture Awards for Fine Arts, along with the National Award for Photography and Velázquez Award for Plastic Arts. Established in 1980, it is granted annually by the Ministry of Culture and Sport to recognize the meritorious work of contemporary plastic artists. It is given for works or actions published in the prior year which contribute to the enrichment of Spain's cultural heritage. Despite being developed by an administrative body, the selection of the award's winners is intended to be a true reflection of the values and feelings of society. It is endowed with a prize of 30,000 euros.[1]

Candidates for the award are presented by the members of a jury, or by entities related to the pertinent artistic or cultural activities, through reasoned proposals addressed to the Minister of Culture or to the jurors themselves.
