It details the 2024 PECDA (Programa de Estímulo a la Creación y Desarrollo Artístico) grant process, noting that a committee of more than 15 specialists evaluated nearly 300 applications and selected 45 artists from 20 municipalities, with Dania listed among nine established creators who received funding for her project "Nostalgia Trade." The section also presents the full tables of adolescent and young creators awarded in the PECDA 2024 call, illustrating the program’s breadth and its emphasis on quality, creativity, and cultural relevance. The document then shifts to the International Image Festival (FINI), a multidisciplinary cultural festival organized by the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo (UAEH). It outlines FINI’s history since 2011, its annual thematic axes (e.g., Migration, Climate Change, Indigenous Peoples), the rotating Guest Country of Honor (2026: Republic of Bulgaria), and the detailed 2026 program schedule. The section includes a comprehensive list of past winners, focusing on the 2011 edition where Dania Santos Ramírez earned third place in the Professional Digital Printmaking category for her series "Crash."
