Pablo Neruda Ibero-American Poetry Award

The Pablo Neruda Ibero-American Poetry Award (Premio Iberoamericano de Poesía Pablo Neruda) is an annual award granted by the National Council of Culture and the Arts (CNCA) of Chile, through the National Book and Reading Council.

It was created in 2004 by agreement between the CNCA, BancoEstado (sponsor), and the Pablo Neruda Foundation (sponsor) as a tribute to the centenary of the birth of poet Pablo Neruda. It is granted annually "to an author who has a distinguished career and whose work is a notable addition to the cultural and artistic dialogue of Ibero-America."

The prize consists of US$60000, a medal, and a diploma.

In 2012, for the first time, its prose counterpart was presented: the Manuel Rojas Ibero-American Narrative Award, in honor of the author of Hijo de ladrón, which on that occasion was won by the Brazilian Rubem Fonseca.

Books presented
The Anthology of Nicanor Parra by Niall Binns was compiled and published especially for the occasion of Parra receiving the award in 2012.
