Awarded for To recognize a French literary work which honors the memory and work of Maurice Genevoix Reward(s) Silver-gilt medal and variable cash amount

The Prix Maurice Genevoix (Le prix Maurice Genevoix) is an annual French literary award made in honor of its namesake Maurice Genevoix (1890–1980). It is intended to recognize a French literary work which, by its topic or style, honors the memory and work of Maurice Genevoix. The prize was founded in 1985 in the city of Garches under the initiative of mayor Yves Bodin, who was a family friend of Genevoix. In 2004 the award was officially established at the Académie française as a "Grand Prix", meaning the winner receives a silver-gilt medal and variable cash amount, thus increasing its prestige and importance since 2004.
