In this virtual space, each participant must fill out the complete personal information and biographical form. In this space you can also access the rules of the contest in each category. The deadline for presentation of the works is from April 29 to September 2, 2022. 

As every year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will support the dissemination of the bases and the contest through the Peruvian diplomatic missions located abroad, taking into account that foreign nationals or residents in the country may also participate in the competition.

The Copé Awards have been organized and promoted by PETROPERÚ since 1979, thus continuing its policy and commitment to the development of culture and literary creation at the national level.
