    Is the Villarautia the most important award for books written in Spanish?
    I know the Cervantes, the Planeta, the Gallego but I admit I had never heard before of this Mexican award. Anyway I have voted the Goncourt and the Hugo.

    These are the awards that have been nominated by the Book Club members, rather than most important ones.

    Thanks for your vote!

    Since there is a tie at the end of the regular voting period, the poll will remain open for another three days (ie, till November 4th).

    Please keep voting!
