Premio Planeta de Novela

Last updated

The Premio Planeta de Novela is a Spanish literary prize, awarded since 1952 by the Spanish publisher Grupo Planeta to an original unpublished novel written in Spanish. It is one of about 16 literary prizes given by Planeta.

Contents

Financially, it is the most valuable literary award in the world for an author or book, with the winner receiving €1,000,000. [1] It was created by José Manuel Lara Hernández in 1952 and is awarded on 15 October, St Teresa's day, Teresa being the name of Lara's wife.

Since 1974 there has also been an award to the runner up, which now stands at €200,000. [2]

Criticism

In recent years its credibility has been called into question, with the first prize often awarded to authors published by Planeta, and the second to less known authors. The award has been declined by Miguel Delibes and Ernesto Sábato, both Planeta authors.

In 2005, an Argentinian court fined Planeta 10,000 pesos after finding that there had been fraud in awarding the Argentinian version of the prize to Ricardo Piglia in 1997. [3]

While the manuscripts are presented under a pseudonym, it is not unusual for the names of the winners to be leaked days or weeks before the official announcement.[ citation needed ]
