The awards available for the first three winning entries, in addition to our and everyone's applause, will be as follows:

FIRST AWARD: Gold doubloon. Plus editing, cover artwork and pre-printing of the book resulting from the competing work. Plus publication, in ways to be determined. Plus a 90" promotional film (booktrailer) suitable for social.

THIRD CLASSIFIED: Bronze doubloon. Plus a certificate of merit from the Minister of Culture of Atlantis.

SPECIAL SCREENPLAY AWARD: Silver doubloon. Plus a 90" promotional film (booktrailer) suitable for social.

To these Awards we will add as much as we can from the sponsorship search activity that is ongoing.

Other incipits or excerpts may be published on the website under the "showcase" section, and on social media, at the editorial staff's sole discretion and regardless of the ranking.
