Hlinyany Viales (Clay Veles) is an annual literary award, founded in 1993 by members of the Society of Free Literati. The chairman of the organizing committee is Ales Arkush. It is awarded for the best Belarusian-language artistic book of the year.
The laureate receives a symbolic award — a clay idol of the patron of art. One can only become a laureate of the award once.
The award is presented in May.
