Compostela Prize

The International Compostela Prize for Picture Books is organised by the Department of Education of the City Council of Santiago de Compostela in collaboration with KALANDRAKA Editora. The initiative, promoted as an integral part of the Reading Promotion Campaign that both entities have organised since 2001, is aimed at fostering this literary and artistic genre, in addition to promoting the city abroad. The prize consists of a single payment of €9000 as an advance on intellectual rights, and the winning book is published in all of the official languages of the Iberian Peninsula.
