The Pablo Neruda Ibero-American Poetry Award (Spanish: Premio Iberoamericano de Poesía Pablo Neruda) is an annual award granted by the National Council of Culture and the Arts (CNCA) of Chile, through the National Book and Reading Council .
It was created in 2004 by agreement between the CNCA, BancoEstado (sponsor), and the Pablo Neruda Foundation (sponsor) as a tribute to the centenary of the birth of poet Pablo Neruda. It is granted annually "to an author who has a distinguished career and whose work is a notable addition to the cultural and artistic dialogue of Ibero-America."
The prize consists of US$60,000, a medal, and a diploma.[1]
In 2012, for the first time, its prose counterpart was presented: the Manuel Rojas Ibero-American Narrative Award, in honor of the author of Hijo de ladrón, which on that occasion was won by the Brazilian Rubem Fonseca.[2]
