Rómulo Gallegos Prize

Rómulo Gallegos Prize

The Rómulo Gallegos International Novel Prize (Spanish: "Premio internacional de novela Rómulo Gallegos)" was created on 6 August 1964 by a presidential decree enacted by Venezuelan President Raúl Leoni, in honor of the Venezuelan politician and President Rómulo Gallegos, the author of "Doña Bárbara".

The declared purpose of the prize is to "perpetuate and honor the work of the eminent novelist and also to stimulate the creational activity of the Hispanic speech writers". [http://www.celarg.org.ve/Ingles/Premio%20Romulo%20Gallegos.htm]

It is awarded by the government of Venezuela, through the offices of the Rómulo Gallegos Center for Latin American Studies ("Fundación Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos Rómulo Gallegos"). The first prize was given in 1967.
