It is selected by an Award Committee consisting of great personalities from Asturias Literary and Arts circle.
History
[edit]The Prize was established in 1980[1] by the President of Sociedad Casino de Mieres, Mr. Luis San Narciso Altamira, with a sponsorship deal from financial institution Cajastur. Initially, the award was formed by the first edition of the novel and an economic prize of 100.000 pesetas.
