Authors of essays in Spanish or books in any language other than Spanish or Catalan can participate in this contest.

The Fundación Palau and Galaxia Gutenberg are hosting the Josep Palau i Fabre International Essay Prize.

Categories include untranslated text and original text.

The untranslated text category accepts books that have been published outside of Spain during the last three years and that are originally written in any language but Catalan or Spanish. Writers can participate only if the work has not been translated into these languages before.

The original text category accepts essays written in Catalan or Spanish, with a humanistic, creative approach rather than academic to any discipline (philosophical essay, sociological, historical, literary, political and aesthetic).

Winners in each category will receive EUR5,000 (about US$6,750).

The deadline is Nov. 30.
