This edition of the prize, promoted by the dstgroup in partnership with the Camões Institute, was dedicated to poetry by Angolan authors published in 2023 and 2024.
The Angolan writer Paulo Campos has won the 7th edition of the dstangola/Camões Literary Prize with his work “111 Sonetos Novembrinos”(111 November-related Sonnets), which was unanimously selected, the Portuguese business group announced in a statement sent to Lusa.
This edition of the prize, promoted by the dstgroup in partnership with the Camões Institute, was dedicated to poetry by Angolan authors published in 2023 and 2024.
The work 111 Sonetos Novembrinos won the unanimous approval of the jury and is a symbolic tribute to Angola’s Independence Day, 11 November 1975, “combining the formal rigor of the classical sonnet with the country’s historical memory, cultural identity and contemporary experience,” the statement said.
The writer, quoted in the document, expressed his satisfaction with the recognition the prize gives to Angolan literary culture.
“The existence of prizes like this, which value Angolan literary culture, is one of the most timely initiatives for the development of writing as an essential art form. I consider this prize above all to be a recognition of the persistence of poetic creation,” he said.
According to the author, the jury’s choice gives poetry a place of prominence “where the soul can reveal itself without any masks.”
“Winning this competition means that the voices and silences I have placed in each verse have resonated beyond the page. For me, this distinction validates the search for the cornerstone of our cultural identity, proving that poetry is still the safe harbour where the soul reveals itself without any masks,” stated Paulo Campos.
The jury, chaired by José Mena Abrantes and also made up of David Capelenguela and Amélia Dalomba, highlighted “the skill with which Paulo Campos masters the classic rules of the sonnet, along with simple, fluent and accessible language,” also emphasizing the author’s ability to address “with beauty and rigour, ancient stories, African legends and parables, scenes from rural and urban everyday life, as well as existential, romantic and patriotic themes, from the perspective of defending the universal values of Humanity.”
The initiative’s promoter, José Teixeira, CEO of the dstgroup, also emphasized the role of literature “as an instrument of subversion (...) and the resonance of stifled voices,” highlighting the importance of poets in the building of freedom.
“In Angola, literature and poetry have always been particularly important. Today, Angola is free and knows that it cannot do without the critical voice of poets and writers. Freedom is a process. For our part, as a small operator in Angola, we encourage and support poets and writers in their social work,” he stated, in a remark quoted in the press communication.
Paulo Campos is an Angolan doctor, academic and writer. In the area of literature, he is a member of the Union of Angolan Writers (UEA). He began his publishing career with short stories, but it was through his return to poetry in 2024 that he achieved one of the high points of his literary career with 111 Sonetos Novembrinos, published by the UEA.
The prize, worth 15 000 euros (around 16 million kwanzas), will be presented to the winner in May, at a venue yet to be announced.
Across the seven editions held so far, the dstangola/Camões Literature Prize has been awarded to Zetho Cunha Gonçalves (2019), Pepetela (2020), Benjamim M’Bakassy (2021), Boaventura Cardoso (2022), João Melo (2023), Jorge Arrimar (2024) and Paulo Campos (2025).
Created in 2019, the dstangola/Camões Literature Prize is part of a coordinated cultural promotion project developed by the dstgroup in partnership with the Camões Institute, going far beyond the annual award itself, the statement added.
As part of this commitment, the dstangola Reading Room was created at the Portuguese Cultural Centre in Luanda, which has already received thousands of books donated by the group. Its collection includes works by Angolan, Portuguese and Lusophone authors, as well as technical and scientific literature, promoting access to reading, knowledge and cultural diversity, it added.
