THE MYTHICAL concert hall in Braga was once again decked out to host the literary prize, which is already a reference at national level. The winner of this 28th edition stated that the prize “projects Braga and universal culture”.
The main hall of Theatro Circo, the mythical cultural space of the city of Braga and one of the most emblematic nationally, has once again been small to accommodate all those who wanted to be present at yet another award ceremony in honor of the winner of the dst Grand Prize in Literature.
Practically all the seats in the concert hall were filled in a heartfelt and sincere tribute to the author Teolinda Gersão, who was chosen by the jury to be the grand winner of this 28th edition of this literary prize, which has already become a cultural reference at a national level.
It should be remembered that this prize has been promoted since 1995 and is intended to reward, every year, a work in Portuguese, by a Portuguese author born and residing in national territory, with a money prize of 15 thousand euros.
The book ‘O regresso de Júlia Mann a Paraty’, written by Teolinda Gersão in 2021, was chosen among the 191 works that were submitted to competition.
The jury of the 28th dst Grand Prize in Literature, which was presided over by Lídia Jorge and also composed of Carlos Mendes de Sousa and Cândido Oliveira Martins, unanimously decided to award the prize to Teolinda Gersão, for ‘O regresso de Júlia Mann a Paraty’, which they considered "a book of undeniable formal maturity, associated with an unusual creative glow".
“There were 191 works, so it was very difficult to make a selection. There were several books that could have won”, considered Lídia Jorge, adding that, however, “among all these participating works, it seemed to us that this was, without a doubt, the one that stood out the most, due to its creation and cultural message".
“It is a tremendous honor to receive this award. We write so that others may read. And, moreover, this association, so rare, between the corporate and cultural dimensions is very important”, underlined the author with more than 40 years of literary life, in the first reaction after the announcement that she was the winner of the 28th edition of the dst Grand Prize in Literature, which was given in person by José Teixeira and Lídia Jorge, last Friday, in a crowded room hallTheatro Circo.
Taking the opportunity presented by yet another edition of the dst Grand Prize in Literature, the CEO of the group, José Teixeira, wanted to pay a sincere and simple tribute to Vítor Aguiar e Silva, who died in September 2022 and who was, for several years, the president of the jury of this literary prize, thanking him for everything he has done for it and for his contribution over the years.
