The Prix Maurice Genevoix (Le prix Maurice Genevoix) is an annual French literary award made in honor of its namesake Maurice Genevoix (1890–1980).[1] It is intended to recognize a French literary work which, by its topic or style, honors the memory and work of Maurice Genevoix.[2] The prize was founded in 1985 in the city of Garches under the initiative of mayor Yves Bodin, who was a family friend of Genevoix.[1] In 2004 the award was officially established at the Académie française[3] as a "Grand Prix", meaning the winner receives a silver-gilt medal and variable cash amount,[4][5] thus increasing its prestige and importance since 2004.
