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. It was established in 2008 by the Secretary of Culture for the State of São Paulo. 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. For example in 2011 there were 221 submissions for the prize.
