The Fundación Muñoz‑Torrero announced the fourth edition of the Premio Muñoz‑Torrero a los valores democráticos y constitucionales. The award recognises people and institutions that have made a particular contribution in Spain to defending and promoting democratic and constitutional principles. The foundation is based in Cabeza del Buey at the Province of Badajoz (Extremadura).
The entry rules set out the procedure, deadlines and required documents. Nominations must be submitted by third parties; self-nominations and posthumous nominations are not permitted. Members of the foundation’s governing board (Patronato) may not be nominated. The foundation reserves the right not to award the prize if no suitable candidate is found. Details of deadlines and forms are specified in the published documents.
The award ceremony is scheduled for 19 March 2027 in Cabeza del Buey. The date is linked to historical events in Spanish constitutional history to which the foundation’s namesake refers. According to the foundation, previous awards included €3,000 and a bronze bust. This year’s arrangements are governed by the current entry rules of the Fundación Muñoz‑Torrero.
In its communications, the foundation refers to possible cooperation with regional institutions. In previous years, the Asamblea de Extremadura and the Diputación de Badajoz have been partners. The involvement of these organisations in the newly opened round is possible, but has not yet been definitively confirmed in the documents available. No information about nominations, a shortlist or the composition of a jury had been announced at the time the call opened.
The award is rooted in the Extremadura region and, according to the foundation, aims to bring visibility to civic engagement that strengthens democratic culture, protects fundamental rights or promotes understanding of the constitutional order. The Fundación Muñoz‑Torrero thus links its work to Cabeza del Buey and Badajoz province while basing the competition’s substance on wider societal standards. Those interested should consult the official entry documents for the requirements, deadlines and submission procedures.
