Premi Lupa d'Or de la Societat Catalana de Sociolingüística

The Premi Lupa d'Or is a scholarly prize awarded by the Societat Catalana de Sociolingüística (SOCS) and hosted by the Institut d'Estudis Catalans. It is offered for a sociolinguistic research article, essay, book chapter or book published with an ISSN or ISBN and dated 2025. Eligible works include empirical studies on the use of the Catalan language or other aspects of the sociolinguistic reality of the Catalan-language countries; collective works qualify if the first author meets residency/affiliation requirements. The prize carries a monetary award and may remain unawarded or be declared void in a given edition.

Monetary prize of €1,000 and formal recognition by SOCS/IEC.

Works must be sociolinguistic research or essays published in 2025 by authors resident in the Catalan-language countries or affiliated to their universities; for collective works the first author must meet this condition. Publications in other languages are allowed if a Catalan summary is added; each author may submit only one work; candidatures may be presented by the authors or by any SOCS member.

Candidatures must be submitted electronically via the IEC online form with a PDF of the work (max 100 MB) and, if applicable, a Catalan summary; alternatively, documentation and five paper copies may be delivered to the IEC headquarters (Carrer del Carme, 47, Barcelona).
