Premio Adonáis de Poesía


The Premio Adonáis, or Adonais Prize for Poetry, is awarded annually in Spain by Ediciones RIALP to an unpublished Spanish language poem. Runners-up are also recognized.
Named after the collection of the same name, the Adonais Prize was created in 1943 by the publishing house Biblioteca Hispánica, which was then directed by Juan Gerrero Ruiz, best friend of Juan Ramón Jiménez. In 1946, the Prize was placed in the hands of Ediciones RIALP, which has maintained it to this day.
In its first few years, the Prize contributed to the rise of major poets of the Spanish postwar period. The Adonais is similar to the Premio Hiperión, which also promotes young authors.
The prize is awarded in December of each year.
