The Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature was established in 1950. The heirs of Don Carlos
Palanca Sr. thought it fitting that his memory be commemorated in an endeavor that would help enrich the
country’s cultural heritage.
The aims of the awards have been
1. To help develop Philippine Literature by providing incentives for writers to craft their most outstanding
literary work.
2. To be a treasury of the Philippines’ literary gems from our gifted writers and to assist in its eventual
dissemination to our people, particularly the students.
