Spanish-language writers: Call for applications for the 2026 Miguel de Cervantes Prize with a €125,000 award

The 2026 edition of the Miguel de Cervantes Prize for Literature in Spanish is being announced, aimed at recognising a complete literary career (First). The prize money amounts to 125,000 euros, which cannot be divided, declared void, or awarded posthumously (Second). The jury's decision will be submitted to the Ministry of Culture before 10 December 2026 (Fifth).

In 3 key points

  1. Financial award of 125,000 euros, which is non-divisible and cannot be declared void (Second). (Segundo)
  2. The decision will be submitted to the Ministry of Culture before 10 December 2026 (Fifth). (Quinto)
  3. Enters into force the day following its publication in the BOE (Eighth). (Octavo)

How it affects those involved

For Spanish-language writers, regardless of nationality, this offers the opportunity to receive the highest Hispanic literary recognition (First). The application process involves submitting merits and a summary of the work to the Directorate General for Books, Comics and Reading (Fourth). The final decision exhausts all administrative remedies, meaning only a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed before the National High Court (Sixth).
