"The beautiful purpose that is revealed to us in the purpose of the prize is clouded in the attitude, language, rights, obligations and gaps of the call." This is how the scholarships and awards of the Public Institutions launched by Lanarte can be read. A constructive criticism in the report. Basically, reading about scholarship distributions goes to the sense version.

While the association recognizes the benefits of literary and artistic awards and scholarships, it sees a number of components that need to be changed in form and substance – especially from the author’s point of view. In order to complete the report, the Association of Basque Workers and Cultural Creators has studied sixteen literary awards and nineteen scholarships organized by public institutions in the South Basque Country.

In most of the cases studied, copyright is infringed, primarily because the author is expropriated from the work. Only two examples are exemplified in this sense: Town Hall of Getxo and Zarautz. To begin with, because unlike the others, they do not inherit the award-winning work and can sign the contract with the editorial that the creator wants.

On the other hand, there are also many ethical deficiencies in the scholarship and award ceremonies studied: "We believe that all these disabilities that appear in the calls for the Basque Country Awards are in violation of the law. Ethics at least.” The Lanarte asks why it has a system of awards and scholarships based on respect for the rights of creators and, therefore, ethics.

The reasons for these shortcomings are varied. These are listed in the report: "The fact that the rewards have no laws of their own, and the crude habits of years, have led us to this. And also the ignorance and passivity of the creators."

Drawing attention to the need for a "profound transformation", Lanarte lists a series of recommendations and/or obligations:

Recommendations beyond the study

As for the prizes, he extends fifteen warnings to the public institutions that distribute them:

- All awards are responsible for the balanced presence of the female in the juries.

- The absence of specific legislation on prizes does not prevent the application of an ethical regulation in the call for tenders.

- The prizes that include the publication must inform the contract.

-Prizes that do not cover the publication would also greatly benefit the author by incorporating or making available this model of contract in the calls.

- The prize money could not be considered a copyright advance. It is necessary to inform in the same call that the copyright will be respected.

- The property of the work is always owned by the author. The exceptions are strictly published in the Intellectual Property Law.

- Editions that do not have the intention of earning money prevent the distribution and dissemination of the work that it deserves, distorts potential buyers, prevents criticism and distributes the work.

- It is advisable to extend to all prizes that works made in whole or in part by Artificial Creativity programs will be eliminated from the competition.

- By law, the unlimited ownership of certain entities and contractors is legal.

- It is legal for the organizer of the prize to take for himself the right to publish in any medium and in those that could be invented in the future.

- The organizer of the prize must know that if he wants to publish the work in different media he must make different contracts: the fact that the paper publication has one contract and the digital publication has another is in moral rights.

- It is not permissible for a delegate or employee of the prize constituents to have a say in the jury.

- It is not acceptable that the publisher hired by the prize has a delegate on the jury. It creates a so-called clash of interest.

- The composition of the jury must be notified together with the announcement of the prize.

- Publication of the reasoned decision of the jurors benefits the work, the author, the publisher and the prize itself.

The Lanarte has also been critical of the distribution of scholarships: "The City Councils, the Provincial Councils, the Commonwealth, the Consortium and the Government that organize the scholarships act as if they were not public entities in the contests that they convene. Inadvertently or impotently, they operate in the chaos that has become a habit. And among all of them, they have created a bastard where understanding gives work, to the point of preventing us from acquiring our rights."

The Lanarte has also enumerated a number of wrongful illegal rules and practices in this area. The report includes fourteen warnings on the path to compliance with respect for the rights and ethics of authors:

- Good administrative practices have a place in the law. The absence of specific legislation on scholarships does not preclude the application of ethical regulations at the time of the call for applications.

- The author of an artistic work deserves respect. The author is creative, he is an artist, not an applicant. The scholarship itself is what he asks for.

- The scholarship should not abandon the author. Scholarships that include publication must disclose the contract. Scholarships that do not cover the work of the publication would also greatly benefit the authors by incorporating this model of contract in the calls.

- When referring to the grant money, it is advisable to clarify whether the amount is gross or net, so that the author knows exactly how much it is if he earns the amount he can receive.

- It is necessary to inform in the same call that the copyright will be respected.

- Copyright is not transferable, it always belongs to the author.

- Publishers should be informed that the author also has the moral right to closely monitor the publishing process.

- It is advisable to extend to all scholarships that works made in whole or in part by Artificial Intelligence programs will be excluded from the competition.

- In the promotions it is important to take into account the payment of the diet and the return to the creator.

- The secretary that the jurors need is brought by the organizers. Most of the time, they are cultural technicians of the organization and have no words or votes. Other times there are no votes but the word is yes. It is not permissible for a constituent delegate to have a say in the court. Judges need freedom.

- It is not acceptable that the publishing house that has to publish the text that has won the Scholarship has delegates in the jury. A so-called Clash of Interest arises.

- The composition of the Jury must be communicated together with the convocation of the Scholarship.

- Publication of the reasoned decision of the jurors benefits the work, the author, the publisher and the scholarship itself. It's publicity for everyone.

- The balance between men and women should not be considered fixed in the courts. It is necessary to remember it in all the calls, both for the jury and in the research groups.
