This Saturday 24th of July at 21h will take place in the Cloister of Santo Domingo in Inca and the Pare Colom 2021 Literary Awards Ceremony. Admission is free and subject to capacity and prevention measures in force.

The Pare Colom Literary Awards are literary prizes for unpublished works written in Catalan, organised annually by the City Council of Inca in honour of the memory of the poet Miquel Colom Mateu. They were created in 2003 and were initially only for narrative works. In 2009 the poetry category was added, and in 2010 the theatre category was added. In 2020 the prizes were endowed with 3,000 euros in the narrative category and 1,200 euros in the poetry and theatre categories. The winning works are published by the Lleonard Muntaner publishing house.
