REGULATIONS FOR THE CASA DE LAS AMERICAS PRIZE 1976

In the testimony genre for 1976, all entries must deal with the theme of the Latin American

woman. This was a resolution adopted during the Latin American Writers' Meeting which cul

minated the "Casa de las Americas Prize" activities for 1975. This resolution is reflected in the

regulations for this year, and is inspired in the fact that 1975 has been named International

Women's Year.

Another innovation in this year's prize is the opportunity for authors from the Antilles and

Guyana who write in English to be able to participate in the fiction category in their own language.

1 Work falling in any one of the following three categories may be sent to the Casa de las Amdricas Prize literary contest: a) works of fic

tion, b) investigative, interpretive or critical

essay; and testimony, and c) books for children and young people.

2 The works of fiction will include: novels, books of short stories, books of poetry and dra matic works. Eight works from this category will be. selected as winners, preferably two in each

genre.

3 The essays will treat historical, social, liter

ary, artistic or biographical subjects relative to Latin America; the testimonies, based on direct source material, will treat some aspect of the life of women in Our America (as this year has been declared International Women's Year).

4 The books for children and young people may be: fiction, in whatever form the author

prefers (short story, fable, theatre, rhyme, etc.) or didactic (biographies, travelogues, discoveries, inventions, countries, peoples, etc.). The fic tional works must be inspired on Latin American

themes, and the didactic works should concern either Latin America or be related to Latin Amer ican social evolution. In this category four works

will be selected, preferably two of fiction and two which are didactic.

5 Eligible to participate in the contest are: a) Latin American writers, including those of non

Spanish languages b) authors who are not native to this continent but who have lived in Latin America for five or more years, and c) in the

essay genre, authors from the socialist countries.

6 The works presented must be unpublished and in Spanish (except those mentioned in point number 7), although Brazilian authors may parti

cipate in Portuguese in the essay and testimony

category. Wherever Spanish translations are con

cerned, the translator's name must be included

and it is recommended that the original language text be submitted as well. Books will be consid

ered unpublished even when parts of the text

have appeared in print. In the case of theatrical

works; plays will be considered unpublished al

though they have been staged.

7 Authors from the Antilles and Guyana who write in English may send fictional works written in that language. A special jury will be set up to judge these works and they will select two of them, irrespective of the genre.

8 The eighteen works selected in the previ ously mentioned categories will be published in the Casa de las Americas Prize series, and each of the winning authors will receive, as well, one thousand dollars or its equivalent in their

country's corresponding currency.

9 The submitted works must be type written. In order to facilitate the work of the

jury, an original and two copies should be

sent. Authors may send illustrations with the

works for children or young people.

10 Works must be signed by their author

or authors, in the case of collective ef

forts, and the genre in which the work is

to be judged should be specified. If the author is accustomed to using a pseudonym he or she may do so, as long as his or her

real identity is included as well. Authors and

translators should enclose their respective bio

bibliographies.

11 The Casa de las Americas reserves the

right to publication of the first edition in

Spanish of the selected works. After this

first edition, all publishing, representational, adaptation, film, television and radio rights revert to the author.

12 The deadline for all entries is Novem

ber 30, 1975.

13 The juries for each of the three categories will convene in Havana in January, 1976.

14 Entries should be sent to: Casa de las

Amdricas G y Tercera, Vedado, Havana, Cuba; or

any Cuban embassy; or Case Postal 2, 3000

Berna, 16. Suiza.

15 Entries will be at their authors' disposition until December 31,1975. The Casa de las Amdri

cas cannot be responsible for the return of manu

scripts.
