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(The Formentor Prize) and the Prix International (the International Prize); the former was given to previously unpublished works and the Prix International was given to works already in distribution.[1] The prize takes its name from the town of Formentor on the Spanish island of Mallorca that was famous for its literary gatherings.[2]
As of 2012, the award carries a cash prize of 50,000 euros ($65,000) given to a single author.[2]
