Press/media passes may now be obtained for the Princess of Asturias Awards, currently in their forty-fourth year

The solemn 2024 Princess of Asturias Awards Ceremony, presided over by Their Majesties The King and Queen and with the presence of Her Royal Highnesses The Princess of Asturias, will take place at 6:30pm this coming Friday 25th October at the Campoamor Theatre in Oviedo.

An accredited press/media pass must be obtained from the Princess of Asturias Foundation to provide press coverage of the ceremony and of the programme of activities that will take place throughout Awards Week. The deadline for applying for an accredited press/media pass is Friday 18th October.

Security regulations require supplying the full name, ID card or passport number, and date and place of birth of each person applying for an accredited pass, as well as their function (press or media journalist or technician). Said information may be sent to the Foundation via email to the following address: acreditaciones@fpa.es.

Furthermore, all those applying for a pass must have their photograph taken at the Foundation’s press room, located in the Hotel Barceló Oviedo Cervantes (Calle Cervantes, 13, Oviedo), any time between 9:00am and 8:00pm from 21st to 25th October. Press/media passes may be collected as of Tuesday 22nd October.

All informative material will be made available only in digital format via the Online Press Room on the institution’s website (http://www.fpa.es/en).

The restricted space available in some of the places where the events are to be held may mean limiting access to a certain number of journalists (press pools) at certain times. Press access will be restricted for both the official audience with the Laureates and the Awards Ceremony in order to facilitate the work of the media. The Foundation will provide further information regarding other possible events with limited access and how to obtain images of such events.

Each Princess of Asturias Award comprises a Joan Miró sculpture representing and symbolising the Award, a diploma, an insignia and a cash prize of €50 000

For further information, please contact the Princess of Asturias Foundation’s Communications Department.
