Fernando Lara Prize

The Fernando Lara Novel Award (Spanish: Premio Fernando Lara de Novela) is given annually in Spain by the José Manuel Lara Foundation and the Planeta publishing house to an unpublished novel in the Spanish language. The publication of the finalist (runner-up) work is not expected, although it is sometimes published by Planeta itself (as in the case of The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, finalist in 2000). Created in 1996, it is named after the youngest son of José Manuel Lara Hernández, founder of the publishing house, and who was CEO of Grupo Planeta until his death in a traffic accident in August 1995. The award's endowment is €120,200. It is delivered in May of the respective year.

Check the official rules of the Fernando Lara Prize for the current eligibility window, accepted formats, residency or language requirements and any entry fee. For most established prizes the publisher submits on the author's behalf, often with a limit on entries per imprint.

If you are self-published, look for an explicit statement that independently published books are accepted, and budget for entry fees and copies for judges.
