These prizes promote Quebec and Franco-Canadian literature among Quebec French teachers, stimulate their interest in these works and help their students to know and appreciate them. Marquis offers one prize to the winner in each of the five categories of youth literature and the printing of promotional material.
Canadian Children’s Book Week

Sponsor

This event introduces more than 25,000 children and young people to the joys of reading through literary sessions and workshops in schools, libraries, community centres and bookshops across the country.

The prize is designed to encourage the discovery of reading among high school students and to introduce them to science fiction, fantastic and fantasy literature.
