About Mallarmé Prize
The Prix Mallarmé (Mallarmé Prize) is a poetry prize awarded each year by the Académie Mallarmé to a French speaking poet. To be eligible for the prize the poet must have published a piece in the year concerned, even though the prize does not reward a specific piece of poetry but the author's work all along his career as a whole. The prize may only be won once. The prize is awarded on the occasion of the book fair which takes place in Brive-la-Gaillarde, in the département of Corrèze, région Limousin, France. The cash prize amounts to €3,811 (25,000 FF). Over the past three years it has been financed through sponsorship from the company ISS; previously it was sponsored by the Mairie of Brives.
