They are convened by the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in Mallorca and aim to promote and disseminate the creative contemporary values and research work on the life and work of Joan Miró. In 2012, they were restructured with lower premiums and increased scholarships.
Established is the biennial Pilar Juncosa & Sotheby's Award with a cash prize for an art project done in the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró. And several scholarship announcements: two with residence in the same foundation and in another art institution, two of training, experimentation and creation in the graphic workshops of Miró, and, the last, formation of one of the winners of the Graphic Arts Contest for Young Artists.
