The following is a list of the winners since the prize's beginning: Ten finalists are listed for each award, during the Festival da Mantiqueira, and the winners are announced on the first Monday of August in the Museum of the Portuguese Language. Every year two prizes of R$200,000 each are awarded-one for the best novel of the year by an established author, and the other for the best novel of the year by a debut author-making the São Paulo Prize the largest prize for a published work in Brazil, and one of the largest literary prizes in the world. This rapid rise in popularity is partly because of the large cash prize. For example, in 2011, there were 221 submissions for the prize. Though not as old as other literary prizes in Brazil, such as the Machado de Assis Prize, the São Paulo Prize has quickly risen in prestige.
It was established in 2008 by the Secretary of Culture for the State of São Paulo. The São Paulo Prize for Literature ( Portuguese: Prêmio São Paulo de Literatura) is a Brazilian literary prize for novels written in the Portuguese language and published in Brazil.
