First:
The academies, centers, foundations or cultural and research organisms, universities as well as other Public and Private Institutions, and those personalities which the Foundation invites, may present formal reasoned proposals for candidates to the Cristóbal Gabarrón Foundation Awards, according to the text of the these Awards. Among their merits, they must have made an outstanding and exemplary contribution as well as a relevant international trajectory in each discipline.
Similarly, the members of each one of the Juries, prior to the establishment of these, may present proposals for candidates to the Awards, as long as another two members of the Jury for that Award give their backing to the candidate proposed.
Proposals received from those who request the Award for themselves or for the organizations they represent will not be valid.

Proposals for candidates must be presented through the following channels: by electronic mail to premiosfcg@fc-gabarron.es , by registered mail, by courier service, or in the registry of the General Secretariat in the main headquarters of the Foundation in Calle Rastrojo c/v Barbecho, s/n • 47014 Valladolid • Spain.
All proposals for candidates must be formalized by filling in the Official Proposal Form established for this purpose by the FCG, or by sending a letter to the Foundation. Other documents, relevant data about merits and complementary information on the candidate may be enclosed along with other support for the proposal.
The deadline for the presentation of proposal for candidates is June 11, 2008 at 8:00 o’clock p.m., except for those proposals made by the members of the Juries.
