The Government of Catalunya (Spain) announced in Barcelona that Paulina Schumann will be the recipient of the 2008 National Award of Culture, "for her outsanding career achievement as dancer, acrobat, animal trainer, high school rider" and for becoming a "circus icon of 20th century". While I am not suggesting that Ms. Schumann is not deserving of the honor, I wonder if a requirement to received said honor is that you have to resided in Spain?

Possibly, but I would suggest that it's relevant that her father was Charlie Rivel, who was born in Spain.
