The Citizen Awards were born with the vocation to extol the virtues of solidarity and citizens’ values, as well as as a vehicle to sensitize society to the need and importance of values ​​such as effort, dedication and commitment to citizens.

The non-profit awards, organized and awarded by the “Citizen Awards”, are presented annually and the Jury is made up of representatives of Social Collectives, public and private institutions, prizes awarded previous editions and media. Citizen Awards are presented by Social Collectives and Institutions, personalities invited by the organization, as well as the members of the Jury itself, which provides an open, democratic and enriching source of candidacy in the election of nominees.

In its 10th edition, the María Cristina Masaveu Peterson Foundation was awarded by the jury in recognition of its patronage work in promoting and disseminating, preserving, restoring and restoring the Spanish Historical Heritage, Music and the Arts in general. Especially for its commitment to the training of the youngest, ensuring their integral, human and professional learning.
