The National Culture Award (Premio Nacional de Cultura) is an honor presented annually[a] by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, with the support of Petroperú, to recognize individuals and organizations that contribute to the country's cultural development. Nominations are submitted by Peruvians in categories which have varied since the award's establishment.

History

The award was created on 30 September 1942 by Law No. 9614 and was presented by the Ministry of Education in twelve categories; the winners were announced on 28 July.[1][2]

In 1966, the award was expanded to 18 categories. On 20 March 1974, by Decree Law No. 20561, it was reduced to six categories (Literature, Art, Social Communication, Humanities, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Applied Sciences and Technology) and was presented by the National Institute of Culture.[3][4]

The award was discontinued after 1983, but then reinstated in 2012 with three categories:

  • Best Institutional Practices: recognition of a public or private entity, of national, regional or local scope, whose practice – in cultural management and promotion of art and culture, specifically – can serve as an example for other communities
  • Career: recognition of the person whose work and contribution to Peruvian and universal culture, as a creator, researcher or preserver, has been sustainable and productive over time, in constant variation and pursuit
  • Creativity: recognition of the most original and transcendent creator and/or researcher of Peruvian culture, who represents an innovative contribution to the panorama of their discipline and whose value can be recognized at the national level[2][5]

In August 2019, the ministerial resolution governing the award was amended to remove the Creativity category, and to limit entries to the same fiscal year.[6]
