Premio Aztlán Literary Prize
The Premio Aztlán Literary Prize is a national literary award for emerging Chicana and Chicano authors, founded in 1993 by Rudolfo and Patricia Anaya. The award was originally sponsored by the University of New Mexico, but was moved in 2008 to the National Hispanic Cultural Center. The award is limited to short-story collections and novels (but not children's or young-adult novels) published by a professional press during the previous calendar year.
