History

Named in honor of the liberal writer and government minister Ramón Rosa (1848–1993), the award was created by legislative decree in 1949, and first given in 1951, to Luis Andrés Zúniga.[1] It was restructured by Legislative Decree no. 100 on 11 October 1967.[2]

It is presented annually at the Presidential Palace to a writer whose work has national and international significance.[3]

In some years, the ceremony has been held at the Manuel Bonilla National Theater [es] in Tegucigalpa.[4] It is sponsored by the Civic Projects and Emergency Education Unit of the Secretariat of Public Education [es], the executive branch, and the Secretariat of Culture, Arts, and Sports.[5]
