The prix Contrepoint is a French literary award established in 1971 by a group of young French novelists and journalists. Each year a French-speaking novelist is selected.
According to Bertrand Labes,[1] this prize was characterized at its creation as the "Goncourt of young writers" as its recipients often confirmed their talent later on.
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."
2015: As a tribute to and respect for the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature, awarded to one of its founding members, Patrick Modiano, the jury decided not to award the Prix Contrepoint 2015.
2016: Alessia Valli for La Nostalgie du Crépuscule (Éditions Michalon [fr])
2019: Marion Ruggieri for Donne-moi la main pour traverser (Éditions Grasset) and Clarisse Gorokhoff for Casse-Gueule (Gallimard)
2020: Laure Pfeffer for Si peu la fin du monde (Buchet-Chastel) and Marie-Hélène Lafon for Le pays d'en haut (Arthaud)
