Presentation
In the framework of a set of initiatives of cultural and artistic promotion implemented by the Board of Trustees and with the aim of offering an integral education, this award was organised for the first time in 1991. Science fiction is the literary genre best suited to a university such as UPC for unifying the concepts of science, technology and literature and introducing students to concepts of fiction that correspond to reality.

The awards are 6,000 euros for the best work and two special mentions, each worth 1,500 euros, one for the best novel presented by a member of the University. Every year, an outstanding personality in the field of science fiction is invited to give a talk at the awards ceremony.

The winning works are published in the NOVA Ciencia Ficción collection of Ediciones B.
