Serapio López saw the txapela to the champion. With a career in Alavese bertsolarism since 1982, he is one of the founders of the first bertsolaris schools in Álava. Since then he has served as bertsolari, professor and organizer. In the end of 2017 he sang for the last time at the Alavés Championship in Bertsolaris. The Association of Bertsolarism Fans of Álava wanted to thank them for their trajectory.

The awards of the 2022 Bertsolaris Alavés Championship were the agents that drive Euskera and culture in Álava and that collaborate in some way in the world of Bertsolaris, in order to thank them for their work: ALEA communication group in Álava, Gazte Asanblada de Legutiano, Ttiki Tttaka Euskal Elkartea de Rioja Alavesa, Aiaraldea Ekintzak Faktoria, Zalduondo Kultur Elkartea and Mendialdeko AEK.

The memory was written by Olatz Perea Pérez de Mendiola.

We would like to thank the Bertsolaris, Gaiters and Judges who have participated in the tournament, as well as the Bertsolaris, Bertsolaris schools, sponsors, collaborators and media that we have collaborated throughout the championship.
