The Puchi Award honors any genre’s most innovative, groundbreaking, and dynamic book proposals, focusing solely on their audacity and connections to contemporary art languages.
La Casa Encendida and Fulgencio Pimentel organized Puchi awards for books of any genre. The award contest is open to all types of books, regardless of genre or format: fiction, nonfiction, novels, poetry, comics, and children’s books. Essays, geography books, cookbooks, and a mix of the three or any other type of book will be preferred for the award. They are seeking a one-of-a-kind novel or possibly an entirely new genre.
A book can contain anything and everything, which is what this contest is looking for fiction and nonfiction, essays, poetry, illustration, informative literature, comics, geography books, cuisine, or any combination of the above. Novels that can be adequately classified as experimental will be accepted, whereas conventional novels will not be considered.
