Prix Contrepoint

The prix Contrepoint is a French literary award established in 1971 by a group of younf novelists and journalists. Each year a French-speaking novelist.

According to Bertrand Labes,[1] this prize was characterized at its creation as the "Goncourt of young writers", and its recipients often confirmed their talent later on.

The Jury includes Christian Giudicelli, Dominique-Pierre Larger, Patrick Modiano, Claude Montcalm, Louis-Antoine Prat, Gonzague Saint Bris, Jean-Clément Texier and Denys Viat.

This award is distinguished by the fact that, according to its rules, the winner must pay a one Franc check to each of the eight members of the jury, "for the pains taken to read his work."
