Miguel Ángel Asturias National Prize in Literature

The Miguel Ángel Asturias National Prize in Literature (officially in Spanish language: Premio Nacional de Literatura "Miguel Ángel Asturias") is the most important literary award in Guatemala. Sometimes referred to as the "National Literary Prize", it is dedicated to the memory of the Guatemalan writer, statesman, and Nobel Prize winner Miguel Ángel Asturias and is a one-time only award that recognizes an individual writer's body of work.

The Guatemalan National Prize in Literature has been given annually since 1988 by the Ministerio de Cultura y Deportes (es) (Ministry of Culture and Sports) at ceremonies in the Palacio Nacional de la Cultura (National Palace of Culture). The winner receives a gold medal plus a cash award of 50 thousand quetzales.
