The Ausiàs March Poetry Prize was established in 1959 to commemorate the fifth centenary of Ausiàs March's death in Gandia, the city where he was born. This literary award, created in honor of the poet – with a three-year hiatus (1960-1963) – is presented as part of the Gandia City Literary Awards, which also include the Joanot Martorell Narrative Prize. The announcement typically takes place in October, and the winning work is published by Edicions 62.
