Jean Ferré Prize
The Jean Ferré Prize (French: Prix Jean-Ferré) is a French literary prize founded in 1997 by the radio station Radio Courtoisie. It is awarded annually to the person who the staff of the radio station think have served the French language best. It was originally known as the Daudet Prize, named after Alphonse Daudet and his son Léon Daudet. After a dispute within Radio Courtoisie following the death of its founder Jean Ferré, and the new direction taken by his successor Henry de Lesquen, the support for the usage of the name was withdrawn by Jean-Louis Daudet, heir of Léon Daudet. The prize was thus renamed the Jean Ferré Prize in 2007.[1]
