In the alternate years to the international awards, Bilbao Metropoli 30 launches The Bay Awards – Metropolitan Edition, which are born as a metropolitan project based on the success and experience of the international edition of these awards, whose first edition took place in 2024.
With the same transformative vocation, this metropolitan edition of The Bay Awards seeks to identify, recognize and disseminate pioneering, disruptive and courageous projects and initiatives that are being developed in Metropolitan Bilbao and that have a real impact on the future of our metropolis and on the quality of life and well-being of our citizens.
