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 1988 and again every year since 1995. The award is given in order to encourage "young" comic writers, those whose comic careers have only began to flourish. [ [http://www.centrenationaldulivre.fr/IMG/pdf/DOSSIER_PRESSE2008webv2.pdf Press file of the 2008 festival] , text on page 9] The awardee is chosen by a jury mostly composed of comics specialists: authors, journalists, and Angoulême festival organizers. The winner receives 5000 euro.
