About the Premios Príncipe de Asturias the wikipedia tell us: ( visit link) "The Princess of Asturias Awards (Spanish: Premios Princesa de Asturias, Asturian: Premios Princesa d'Asturies), previously known as Prince of Asturias Awards from 1981–2014 (Spanish: Premios Príncipe de Asturias, Asturian: Premios Príncipe d'Asturies) are a series of annual prizes awarded in Spain by the Princess of Asturias Foundation (previously the Prince of Asturias Foundation) to individuals, entities or organizations from around the world who make notable achievements in the sciences, humanities, and public affairs.
The prize was established on 24 September 1980 by the then twelve-year-old Felipe, Prince of Asturias, heir to the throne of Spain, "to consolidate links between the Principality and the Prince of Asturias, and to contribute to encouraging and promoting scientific, cultural and humanistic values that form part of mankind's universal heritage."The awards are presented at the Campoamor Theatre in Oviedo, the capital of the Principality of Asturias. A sculpture, expressly created for the prize by Spanish sculptor Joan Miró, is presented yearly to the recipients of the prize.
Since the accession of Felipe VI as King of Spain on 19 June 2014 it was announced that, beginning in 2015, the foundation and the awards are to be renamed as the Princess of Asturias Awards in accordance with the gender of the new heir to the Spanish thone, Leonor, Princess of Asturias. The awards ceremonies will be presided by King Felipe until the Princess of Asturias is old enough to take over."
