The Prize of the 5 Continents of La Francophonie was created in 2001 by the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF). Each year, a jury selects an original narrative fiction text (novel, story and collection of short stories). Its mission is to highlight literary talents reflecting the expression of cultural and editorial diversity in the French language on five continents.
This year, it is the Quebec writer of Egyptian origin, Eric Chacour who won, last Tuesday March 26, the Prize of the 5 continents of the Francophonie 2024 with his novel “Ce que je sais de toi” published by the editions Alto (Canada-Quebec) and Philippe Rey (France). As for the special mention from the jury, it was awarded to the Moroccan Khalid Lyamlahy for his novel “Evocation of a memorial in Venice” published by Présence Africaine (France, 2023).
