The Premio Hemingway (Hemingway Prize) is an international art award established by the municipality of Lignano Sabbiadoro, Italy in 1984.[1]
Lignano, situated on a small peninsula between Venice and Trieste is a place where Ernest Hemingway spent much time.
Each year a jury awards a series of awards for excellence in literature and related fields. The awards are announced at a glittering ceremony in June.
The Prize is promoted by the Municipality of Lignano Sabbiadoro with the support of the Departments of Culture and Productive Activities and Tourism of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region and the Pordenonelegge Foundation which was founded in 2013 by the Chamber of Commerce of Pordenone and local trade associations.[2]
