The Jury for this Award has made the decision public during an award ceremony held at the Casa Guardiola in Seville.

The event was attended by authorities such as Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, President of the Junta de Andalucía; Patricia del Pozo, Minister of Culture of the Junta de Andalucía; Antonio Muñoz, Deputy Mayor and delegate of the Urban Habitat, Culture and Tourism of ??the Seville City Council; Juan Manuel Castro, Vice President of the AXA Foundation and José Creuheras, President of Grupo Planeta. In addition, the writer Fernando Delgado attended, as spokesman for the Jury.

The novel is a fast-paced adventure, a moving ecological plea, a hymn to conservationism and a great love story in the legendary African jungle. In the author's words, “La bruma verde (The Green Mist) is a very different novel from the ones I have published to date. Its title evokes a natural phenomenon only visible in a setting as spectacular as it is unique: the Congo River basin; one of the last green paradises on Earth and the setting for this story, starring the young woman, Bineka, whose life I hope captures you from the first page".
