Konex Award for Isabel

The Konex Awards were instituted in 1980 to be annually delivered so that the most distinguished Argentine personalities and institutions in every field important to the country's community be an example to our youth.

Every year the Konex Foundation offers those awards in different significant activities in the nation, in cycles that repeat themselves every ten years (Music: 1989-1999-2009). Initially and in the ten-year span from 1980 to 1989, such personalities received awards for their life-time accomplishments. As from 1990 to 1999 the accomplishments to receive awards represented the last ten years of activity. From the year 2000 through 2009 such cycle is repeated, and it will be repeated indefinitely. The Grand Jury selects the five personalities / institutions that show the most remarkable accomplishments in each of the chosen disciplines. The "Merit Diplomas" will be handed over in a ceremony at the Aula of the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires on September 9th.
