The initiative, promoted by the A Coruña City Council through the Coruñeses Scientific Museums, annually distinguishes projects in fields such as audiovisual, journalism, radio, publishing, digital dissemination, and citizen science engagement programs.
Mayor Inés Rey highlighted the role of the Prismas as a benchmark for science communication in Spain, emphasizing that "science only fully fulfills its function when it reaches society." She added that the awards recognize "people and projects capable of translating knowledge into dialogue, curiosity, and critical thinking."
Rey valued the diversity of the awarded projects, demonstrating that "science can be expressed through a documentary, a book, a podcast, a theatrical experience, or a digital channel," contributing to "building a more informed and freer citizenry."
The Prismas Awards, in their thirty-ninth edition, consolidate A Coruña as a leading city in promoting scientific culture. The awards are organized by the City Council through the Coruñeses Scientific Museums and feature a jury of professionals from communication, education, research, and science dissemination. The categories, except for Edited Book and Special Jury Prism, received a Bronze Prism and 4,000 euros.
Among the winners are projects such as La luz con el tiempo dentro (best video work), the YouTube channel Cuarentaydos (best new media work), Del cloro a la diversidad (best urban water dissemination project), the newspaper article from El País "ChatGPT no pasa la prueba: así pone en peligro la vida de los menores" (best journalistic article), Calvet en bicicleta (best radio work), #LaCienciaDel100 (best singular project), Viaje al planeta de los insectos (best edited book), and Desgranando Ciencia (Special Jury Prism).
