The prize, with an endowment of 15,000 euros, will be awarded annually to a single category and may be granted ex aequo to several works.

Any journalistic work published in the Spanish media between the 1st of January and the 31st of December of the corresponding year, in any of the official languages, may be awarded.

The criteria for awarding this prize will be the accuracy and technical quality of the work, the degree of transparencyin its promotion in the stock market and in the protection of investors’ interests, as well as the contribution of the work to financial literacy.

The jury will be composed of three to five members and will be chaired by a member of the CNMV Board. The other members shall be individuals linked to institutions or associations related to the financial sector, including consumer or investor associations or experts of a recognized standing.

The works will be selected by the CNMV’s Communications Office, on its own initiative or at the proposal of any person or entity and the decision will be made public in the second half of January of every year.

The CNMV has received much support for this initiative from numerous institutions related to the financial sector, such as Fogain, Inverco, the Spanish Institute of Financial Analysts (IEAF), BME, AEB or Cecabank, who have expressed their willingness to cooperate in the promotion and development of the annual calls for the Prize.
