Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Every year, the Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême is awarded during the Angoulême International Comics Festival to an author for his body of work and/or for his achievement in the evolution of comics.

This author must be alive and can be French speaking or not. This prize is juried exclusively by past winners. Usually, when someone is awarded this Grand Prix, he or she becomes the president of the jury for the festival the next year. Some years, special prizes are awarded too, often on symbolic anniversaries of the festival.
