It is selected by an Award Committee consisting of great personalities from Asturias Literary and Arts circle.
History
editThe Prize was established in 1980[1] by the President of Sociedad Casino de Mieres, Mr. Luis San Narciso Altamira, with a sponsorship deal from financial institution Cajastur. Initially, the award was formed by the first edition of the novel and an economic prize of 100.000 pesetas.
From its formation the Prize enjoys great prestige[1] and its recognition has grown up remarkably, being considered nowadays as one of the most important Spanish literary prizes regarding reputation and quality of novels. Writers from Spain, Europe and South America have taken part in the running last years.
In 1996 the President of Cajastur, Mr. Manuel Menéndez Menéndez, decided to set the prize money at one million of pesetas (about €6,000), given its notoriety and trajectory.
