The Píxel Awards recognise the best initiatives and action with regard to adaptation, research, accessibility and the best application in terms of quality of live to people with special needs and businesses who have taken part in the Píxel Health Days (Jornadas de Salud Píxel), which take place yearly in the CEU.
The four winning entities will share a cheque of €1,500 which will go towards putting projects in place that they have presented. These funds come from ticket sales for Villarreal CF matches at the Estadio de la Cerámica, with tickets being given to the CEU to sell among the university community at a special price, with the aim of raising funds for charity initiatives.
