Prix Formentor

The Prix Formentor (also known as Premio Formentor de las Letras, Formentor Literature Prize and the Formentor Prize) is an international literary award given between 1961 and 1967, and, after a long break, from 2011. In the 1960s, the Formentor Group offered two prizes, the Prix Formentor (the Formentor Prize) and the Prix International (the International Prize); the former was given to previously unpublished works and the Prix International was given to works already in distribution. The prize takes its name from Formentor, located on the Spanish island of Mallorca that was famous for its literary gatherings, and classic works such as The Pine of Formentor. As of 2012, the award carries a cash prize of 50,000 euros ($65,000) given to a single author.

Check the official rules of the Prix Formentor 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.
