II Bienal de Novela Mario Vargas Llosa

II Bienal de Novela Mario Vargas Llosa

The Vargas Llosa chair, in collaboration with the Fundación Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes, the Universidad de Ingeniería & Tecnología (UTEC) and Acción Cultural Española (AC/E), organises the Mario Vargas Llosa prize and literary biennial. The initiative was started up with the aim of creating one of the most prestigious Spanish-language prizes and hosting a literary event to promote reading and intellectual debate in our language.

​The 2nd Mario Vargas Llosa novel biennial, during which the winner of the prize will be announced, is scheduled tol take place in Lima from 18 to 21 April 2016.  It will bring together more than forty writers to participate in various literary events and debate on the current situation of literature in Spanish at the eight Lima universities that are part of the chair and at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Lima.

The jury of the 2nd Vargas Llosa novel biennial prize is made up of Spaniard Darío Villanueva (Real Academia Española), Peruvian Alonso Cueto, American Will H. Corral, Mexican Gonzalo Celorio and Swede Inger Enkvist.

The award, worth 100,000 dollars, is granted to the best work submitted, whose first edition must have come out during the two-year period (2014–2015) established by the contest. The call for entries, which was open until 30 November 2015, included works of fiction in the broadest sense of the word and excluded essays, short stories, memoirs, history and criticism, as well as graphic novels, comics and children’s literature.
