Pere Perelló has won the award in the category of Poetry, with Aspra és la terra i altres poemes: the jury has valued the vindicative theme of the book of poems as well as the naturalness, sensitivity and verbal fluency of the work.

As for the Theater category, Neus Nadal was the winner with Kiken_2023 for her risk in writing, both in the research of new languages and in the broad view and the opening of potential stagings. Finally, the Narrativa 2023 prize went to Marta Grau with Deixa’m anar, a very well-written work, according to the jury, with a convincing voice and a solid narrative structure that make it worthy of the award.
