The Princess of Asturias Awards (Spanish: Premios Princesa de Asturias, Asturian: Premios Princesa d'Asturies), known as the Prince of Asturias Awards from 1981 to 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 [es; ast] (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 awards are presented every October in a solemn ceremony at Teatro Campoamor [ast; es] in Oviedo, the capital of the Principality of Asturias, and are presented by the heir to the Spanish throne, currently Leonor, Princess of Asturias. Each recipient present at the ceremony receives a diploma, a sculpture expressly created for the awards by Spanish sculptor Joan Miró and a pin with the emblem of the Foundation. There is also a monetary prize of €50,000 for each category; this amount is shared if the category has more than one recipient.
