The contest searched for the Tarragonian person of the year, and proposed several candidates from different backgrounds. The winner was Ruth Lau, a neurosurgeon who won the Young Neurosurgeon Award 2019. Mor ended in the second placed, and was voted by 8.077 persons.

The award ceremony was sponsored by La Caixa, and the prizes were given by newspaper director Alex Saldaña and the la Caixa Tarragona director David Ciscar.
