The Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucia (BOJA) has published the regulatory bases and the call for the Andalusian Youth Awards 2025, from the Andalusian Youth Institute (IAJ), attached to the Ministry of Social Inclusion, Youth, Families, and Equality. These awards aim to recognize and publicly acknowledge the work carried out by young people who, through dedication in their work and personal involvement, demonstrate their commitment in various areas of society, as well as the activity and trajectory of groups and entities that positively impact the development of youth in Andalusia.
The Andalusian Youth Awards consist of seven categories: Youth Entrepreneurship (with the categories ‘Starting Entrepreneurship’ and ‘Career Entrepreneurship’), Arts and Culture, Sports, Science and Research, Innovation and Technology, Respect for Equality and Sexual and/or Gender Diversity, Sustainable Development, and Promotion of Socio-labor Inclusion of young people with disabilities.
In addition, the honorary mention ‘Young Municipality of the Year’ is awarded to the locality that, at the proposal and judgment of the jury, has excelled in carrying out programs and activities related to youth in the twelve months prior to this call.
Young people from Andalusia or residents in Andalusia (generally understood as young people between 14 and 35 years old), as well as groups of young people, groups, entities, companies, and organizations and institutions can apply for their candidacy. Optionally, nominations can be supported by motivated recommendation letters from public or private entities, entities registered in the Youth Participation Entities Census of Andalusia, Public Administrations, and formal education centers, including universities.
Legal entities can submit their application and any additional documentation they wish to provide, exclusively through electronic means in the Electronic Registry of the Andalusian Government. On the other hand, individuals must also submit the application and supporting documentation, preferably through this registry.
The application period is two months from the day following the publication of the call in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucia, meaning it will remain open until the upcoming 7th of July.
The awards are solely honorary and do not confer any economic rights. In each of the categories, the awardees will receive a sculpture with the inscription ‘Andalusian Youth Awards’ on the base. The honored young people and groups will be celebrated in a public event organized by the Junta de Andalucia.
All information about the Andalusian Youth Awards 2025 is available in the BOJA number 84, dated May 6th
