TERESA CUNILLÉ
The Propietat of the Teatre Romea, with the collaboration of the Institut del Teatre, announces the Teresa Cunillé Award in two categories: research (for the best work on Catalan theatre history) and dramaturgy (for the best adaptation project of an existing text or the creation of an unpublished original text linked to the rescue of the historical heritage of Catalan theatre). The call, held since 2019, has a biennial nature.
TRAJECTÒRIA
Since 1997, the Trajectòria award has been presented during Catalan Book Week “every year to a professional of Catalan culture who has stood out his or her area”. Recognition has been given, among others, to the literary careers of Miquel Martí i Pol (2000), Quim Monzó (2007), Maria Barbal (2010), Carme Riera (2014) and the translator Anna Casasses (2016).
TUSQUETS DE NOVELA
Created in 2005 and with the sponsorship of Fondo Antonio López Lamadrid, which forms part of Fundación José Manuel Lara, the Tusquets award is presented every year to an unpublished work in Spanish. It has been won by authors such as Rafael Reig (2010), Fernando Aramburu (2011) and Juan Trejo (2014), among others.
