ANGOULêME INTERNATIONAL COMICS FESTIVAL RENé GOSCINNY AWARD

The René Goscinny award, named after the writer of Asterix and Lucky Luke, is awarded to comic writers at the Angoulême International Comics Festival. It was first awarded in 1986 and again every year since 1996. The award is given in order to encourage ''young'' comic writers, those whose comic careers have only began to flourish. The awardee is chosen by a jury mostly composed of comics specialists: authors, journalists, and Angoulême festival organizers.
