The story

Premios Literarios Cabo Verde in Praia/national

A coordinated set of five national literary prizes in Cabo Verde, run by the Ministry of Culture through the National Library Institute, covering novel, short story, poetry and children's literature categories, open to residents, foreign residents and the Cabo Verdean diaspora. Ceremonies are typically held in Praia.

Five separate national literary prizes, spanning novel, short story, poetry and children's literature categories, now sit under one coordinated programme run by the Ministry of Culture and Creative Industries through the National Library Institute of Cabo Verde, a structure that formalises what had previously been a more scattered set of individual awards.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The programme names each prize after a specific figure central to Cabo Verdean literary history, Baltasar Lopes, Eugenio Tavares, Orlanda Amarilis, giving award ceremonies a direct, explicit link to the country's literary canon rather than generic branding, and deliberately opens eligibility to the diaspora as well as Cabo Verde-based writers

02

The mystery stays covered

Each prize carries its own dedicated purse and submission window managed through the National Library Institute, giving each category a clear, separately tracked calendar
