The objective is to reward works that contribute to creating a fair and equitable representation of the world in students and that promote the values of real and effective equality between men and women.

The awards have two modalities: modality A is for unpublished, unpublished curricular materials, presented and carried out by non-university teachers who provide their services in public educational centers, individually or in teams. For its part, modality B is intended for materials published by Andalusian publishers or institutions, both public and private.

Within the first modality, the first prize went to the work 'Coeduca Unboxing', carried out by María Dolores Latorre Peña, teacher at the CEI Pinolivo in Marbella (Málaga). It is a tool made up of various chapters, created by Early Childhood and Primary students and teachers. It is broadcast on a YouTube channel and these episodes are related to the world of games and toys. The main objective is to promote responsible and non-stereotypical consumption as well as to try to educate the educational community in audiovisual and advertising language.

The third prize went to three teachers for their different works. The "#GrafiToo" project, by Celia García Ruiz, from the Cádiz Art School, and Maite García Ribot, from the 'Palacio Ventura' Art School in Motril (Granada).

Another of the third prizes goes to the work 'If I were another', by María Isabel Motos Fernández and Andrea Fernández González, professors at the IES Sierra Almijara in Nerja (Málaga).

Starting from a selection of fragments from the work 'Charlotte's Violet Diary', by Gemma Lienas, students will read a series of letters where girls from different places around the world describe their reality. This will make it easier for them to become aware of these inequalities, which they must investigate and deepen.

The project focuses on highlighting the contribution of Andalusian scientists and artists through the creation of mini museums, posters and informative videos. The mini museums, dedicated to notable Andalusian women painters, are distinguished by their innovative use of techniques. Double-sided posters with explanatory QR codes are used, and a contest is held to involve participants and highlight the protagonists.
