December 15, 2020–February 18, 2021
La Casa Encendida contemporary arts center in Madrid (Spain) and the publishing house Fulgencio Pimentel, are pleased to present the fifth Puchi award. The competition is open to books of any genre or form: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, novels, comics, picture books, essays, cookbooks, geography books, combinations of the above or any other type imaginable. We're looking for one-of-a-kind book, or even a whole new kind of book.
This competition is open to literary and graphic projects of any kind that stand out by virtue of their premise, literary and graphic quality, originality, unconventionality or mould-shattering conception. A book can contain everything and anything, and that is precisely what this contest wants: fiction and non-fiction, essays, informative literature, poetry, illustration, comics, cookbooks, geography books, combinations of the above or any other type of work. The aim of this award is to shine a spotlight on works of the highest quality and originality.
The winner will receive a cash prize of EUR 8,000 and have his/her/their work published and distributed by Fulgencio Pimentel.
Fulgencio Pimentel and La Casa Encendida will appoint a preliminary review panel, which will read the submissions and shortlist 10 works to be considered by a jury of renowned judges. The jury will consist of two prominent personalities from the world of publishing and the arts, one representative of La Casa Encendida and one representative of the Fulgencio Pimentel publishing house.
Projects must be submitted via the form posted at La Casa Encendida´s website.
Contestants may submit only finished works that have never been published.
