On 12 November 2026 at 3 p.m., the Câmara de Lobos municipal council will hold a ceremony at the Casa da Cultura auditorium to launch a book collecting the winning short stories of the 6th João Augusto d'Ornelas Literary Prize. Prizes will be presented to the authors on the same occasion.
The jury, made up of Nuno Barros and Carlos Barradas, selected three stories for their originality. First prize went to "O Retornado" by Alexandre Monteiro, second to "A Biblioteca dos Bêbados" by Joana da Silva Neves, and third to "A Garrafa de 1895" by Sebastião Alves.
The event will also include a class from the Escola Profissional Dr. Sérgio Teixeira and a group from the municipality's community centres, underlining community involvement in promoting reading.
