About the Award:-

The award was born in 2013 as a result of the will of the Torredembarra City Council to recover the legacy of the entity that gives its name to the award, both in terms of the graphic work produced and the testimonies of its engravers. In the 20th century, Torredembarra's relationship with engraving was intense, with different artists staying there. With the aim of resuming the thread of woodcut engraving in the town, a research and investigation center has been created for all the material collected (engravings, matrices, books ...). The creation of the prize is also the result of this desire to link the town of Torredembarra with the current woodcut.
