A prize named after the people's poet
The María Rosal International Poetry Prize is organized by the Fernán Núñez City Council together with Valparaíso Ediciones, and is named after the poet and teacher born in the town. In its first two editions, it gathered nearly 600 poetry collections from more than twenty nationalities. In 2026 it reaches its third edition, with the decision announced at a public event in the town.
Jury decision and poetry reading
The event takes place on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at Sala Cultural El Triunfo. Besides learning about the winning poetry collection, the audience will hear a reading by poets Raquel Lanseros, William González, and María Rosal herself. The event is presented by Remedios Sánchez, professor at the University of Granada and a jury member in previous editions.
Who it’s for
This is an event for poetry lovers and anyone wanting to experience firsthand the voices of renowned contemporary Spanish-language poets. The prize includes 2,000 euros and publication of the winning book in the Valparaíso Ediciones poetry collection.
