These accolades were presented following the institutional events of October 9th, in homage to the “reial Senyera”.

In the individual category, the award was granted posthumously to Mila López Asensi, known in the municipality as “Tia Mila”, who passed away last February. The jury highlighted her life dedicated to solidarity, generosity, and selfless giving, as well as her discreet yet intense efforts to help needy individuals and families in Benifaió. Her family members emotionally accepted the award.
Regarding the award for local entities, collectives, or companies, this year it went to the Amas de Casa Tyrius Association of Benifaió, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. The jury recognized its significant contribution to family well-being and its active participation in the municipality's social events.
