The Premio Planeta is a Spanish literary prize, awarded since 1952 by the publisher Planeta to an original novel written in Spanish. It was created by José Manuel Lara Hernández. Financially, it is the second most valuable literary award in the world after the Nobel Prize with the winner receiving €601,000. Since 1974 there has also been an award to the runner up, which now stands at €150,000. It is awarded on 15th October, St Teresa's day, Teresa being the name of Hernández's wife.
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 . 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.
