Jocs Florals

Jocs Florals, or Floral Games, are traditional literary contests originating in medieval Catalonia, celebrating poetic and literary excellence. Participants submit their works—such as poems or essays—for judging by peers or experts. These competitions promote cultural heritage, encourage artistic expression, and often include ceremonies and awards. Over time, Jocs Florals have become a symbol of regional identity and literary pride, fostering creativity and preserving linguistic traditions within Catalan-speaking communities.
