The territorial delegate of Employment of the Junta de Andalucía, Carmen Sánchez, and the mayoress of Mijas, Ana Mata, presented on Tuesday 30th in Mijas a new edition of the Andalusian Domestic Trade Awards, which distinguishes companies that have innovative projects and generate employment. The awards include distinctions in six different modalities. The deadline for submitting nominations will be open until the 13th of August.

Sánchez expressed the support of the Junta de Andalucía to this sector, a sector that as she said, "plays an important role in our GDP, to be precise 13.5 in the province of Malaga and which employs almost 100 thousand people". She also added that in Mijas there are "460 companies in the commercial and craft sector, an important sector that generates a lot of employment and wealth in our province and in our autonomous community". 

The awards include two prizes for Innovation and Business Development, a third award for Good Labor Practice, and two more prizes to be awarded to Open Shopping Centers and other types of Business Cooperation with a special dedication to promote and revitalise the urban or historical centres. Finally, the sixth award is reserved for Local Entities that have contributed to the promotion, revitalization and modernization of commerce.

For her part, Ana Mata thanked the delegate for choosing Mijas to present the awards and encouraged traders to apply for them, since, as she said, "the Town Hall will continue to support local commerce". 

As a novelty, each of the awards this year has an economic allocation of 4,800 euros.
