The National Prize for Asturian Literature is a literary award given by the Academy of the Asturian Language every three years to writers who are most known for their literary career in the Asturian language. The prize cannot be shared between more than one author nor cannot it be awarded posthumously. It was first awarded in 2017. The jury that awards the prize is formed by the President of the Academy of the Asturian Language, three of the academy's members, a representative from the Asturian Government's Department of Education and Culture, and two specialists in Asturian literature who are well recognized in the academic world. The prize includes an award of 3000 euros, a distinctive medallion designed by the sculptor Adolfo Manzano and the publication of a small anthology that is representative of the author's literary output.
