The Josep Pla Award (Spanish: Premio Josep Pla; Catalan: Premi Josep Pla) is a Spanish literary prize, awarded by the Destino publishing house since 1968, to a prose text written in Catalan. It is open to all genres: novel, short story, narrative, travel book, memoir, biography, diary, etc. Its name pays tribute to Josep Pla, considered one of the most important prose writers of contemporary Catalan literature.
It is one of the most prestigious prizes awarded to literature in Catalan. The award ceremony takes place every 6 January, during the night of Epiphany, at the Hotel El Palace in Barcelona. The Premio Nadal is also awarded at the same ceremony.[1]
