About Prix Saint-Michel
The Prix Saint-Michel (French pronunciation: [pʁi sɛ̃ miʃɛl]) was a series of comic awards presented in the City of Brussels from 1971 to 2019 (with a gap from 1987 to 2001), specifically recognizing excellence in Franco-Belgian comics. The festival awarded several prizes, the most prestigious of which was the "Grand Prix Saint-Michel," honoring lifetime achievement. After its revival in 2002 under new management, the prize continued until 2019, recognizing both outstanding work and the broader cultural significance of Franco-Belgian comics.
