The award is endowed with 12,000 euros and convened by the City Council of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and Roca Editorial
A total of 162 original works opt for the 16th edition of the Black Novel Award L'H Confidencial, endowed with 12,000 euros and convened by the City Council of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelonès) and Roca Editorial.
The award, open to writers of any nationality residing in Spain, has increased the number of participating women, with a total of 27, and has received 150 works written in Spanish and 12 in Catalan, as reported this Thursday, February 3, by the consistory in a statement.
In terms of origin, the most represented community is Catalonia, with 52 works -five of them from L'Hospitalet-, followed by Madrid, with 29, the Valencian Community, with 23, and Andalusia, with 21.
Last year, the jury for the Black Novel Award L'H Confidencial decided decl plow desert the award corresponding to the year 2021, since he considered that “none of the finalist originals reaches the necessary literary value for a prize of these characteristics”.
