Premio Planeta
The Premio Planeta or Planeta Prize is the most valuable literary prize in the Spanish-speaking world and, along with the Premio Nadal, is the most important prize for Spanish literature.
Selection process, prize money and history
After the Nobel Prize for Literature , the Premio Planeta is the second most highly endowed literary prize worldwide with 601,000 euros (as of 2009). He is since 1952 annually by the publishing house Editorial Planeta, a subsidiary of the Spanish media group Planeta , for the best unpublished novel award in Spanish. The award ceremony takes place every October in Barcelona . The authors must submit their manuscripts under a pseudonym so that they are not known to the jury members. This procedure has led to the fact that previously unknown authors are often awarded. Since 1974, the second-placed novel has also received prize money; this is currently (2009) 150,250 euros.
The Premio Planeta was donated in 1952 by the publisher José Manuel Lara Hernández, the founder of the Planeta publishing house. Since 1994 there has also been a significantly less endowed Planeta Prize for Argentine literature.
criticism
There are allegations that Planeta-Verlag exerts influence on the jury and does not take sufficient account of the literary quality.
