The National Craftsmanship Award (PNA) which takes place bi-annually, consists of valuing paths and performances of excellence in the arts and crafts, through institutional recognition and the granting of a financial incentive for the development of the activity.
The PNA aims to encourage artisanal production, in its traditional and contemporary aspects, distinguishing artisans by valuing their technical and professional skills, as well as its aesthetic capacity. Includes, yet, the recognition of relevant interventions by public and private entities in the promotion of artisanal activities, as well as encouraging the development of research work in the field of arts and crafts.
