Premio Nacional de Poesía

The National Award for Literature in the Poetry Category (Spanish: Premio Nacional de Literatura en la Modalidad de Poesía) has been presented annually by the Ministry of Culture of Spain since 1977. It recognizes the best work of poetry by a Spanish author, in any of the Spanish languages. Works are nominated by a jury of experts, and must be first editions published in Spain in the prior year. It includes a monetary prize of €20,000. Its antecedent was the National Literature Contest in the Poetry Category (Spanish: Concurso Nacional de Literatura en la Modalidad de Poesía), part of national contests established by Royal Order of the Ministry of Public Instruction and Fine Arts of 27 September 1922. It was given from 1924 to 1973.
