The October Awards will cease to be held in 2025 after 53 editions.

BarcelonaEdicions Tres i Quatre has announced that it will not hold the 54th edition of the Premios Octubre in 2025. Catalan culture will be left without one of its most important and significant cultural events for the first time, especially in the Valencian Community. The editorial that organizes the awards, which confirmed in the magazine The Weather is experiencing a "complicated economic and treasury situation," it explained in a statement published on its website that "the organization has made this decision as a result of a combination of adverse factors and internal elements."

Last year, the October Night gala was not held "for economic reasons" due to the drop in aid that coincided with the arrival of the Popular Party and Vox to the government of the Valencian Community. Previously, the gala had been canceled for other reasons such as the 2020 pandemic. Created in 1972 by the El Micalet Choral Society as the 9 de Octubre Awards, these literary awards are a benchmark for Catalan culture in the Valencian Community. When the Tres i Quatre bookstore and publishing house took over organizing the awards in 1973, the name changed slightly: the October Awards evoked the October Revolution to embody "a revolutionary and leading spirit of Catalan culture in the Valencian Country."

In the last edition of the October Awards, held in 2024, the Joan Fuster essay award went to The Beautiful Journey. Cavafy in Catalan Culture, by Eusebi Ayensa; Vicent Andrés Estellés of poetry, for Isabel Garcia Canet, and Pere Capellà of theater, ex aequo for A story of reproductive horror, by Carla Rovira, and Mothers and not, by Eva Saumell. In this latest edition, the October Awards received a total of 243 original entries, including essays, poetry, plays, and fiction.
