    The scope of intangible cultural heritage is vast and varied. From what goes unnoticed on a daily basis, such as the particular forms of language; to traditional knowledge materialized in multiple artisan objects; festivities, games, and popular beliefs; legends, couplets, chants, and songs; the agricultural and culinary knowledge rooted since time immemorial, and thus, all this goes through an endless number of cultural manifestations that make up the national identity.

    Immersed in this multiplicity of manifestations of culture are the people, groups and communities that keep them in force, and to recognize this work, the Emilia Prieto Intangible Cultural Heritage Award was created, and the reception of applications is now open. The deadline to present the person or group candidate for this recognition is November 27, the last business day of the month.

    The award for the winning person or cultural group consists, according to Decree No. 9211, of “an economic prize equivalent to fifteen basic salaries of a 1 A professional of the Civil Service”, that is, 8 million colones.
