The name of the festival and its prizes are recognitions to the “golluts”, a community of people who were discriminated until its disappearance in the 1950s. They were less than twenty feet away. They were also known as dwarves of Ribes, and they used to live in the surroundings of the Vall de Ribes. Most of these people had goitre (goll), a harmless but bad-looking pathology, which involved discrimination throughout the community.
