The writers Lola Blasco, Chema Cardeña, Rafa Cervera and Antonio Praena are the other people who have been awarded in the modalities of Dramatic Literature, Narrative and Poetry, respectively. They were chosen in the Culture House of Rocafort.

The Valencian Association of Writers and Literary Critics (CLAVE) organises awards that are given to the best published works during the previous year. This year, the organisers have been to Rocafort as it is the 80th anniversary of Antonio Machado leaving Villa Amparo.
