Global InformationLa Mamounia literary award information
The La Mamounia literary award (French: prix de La Mamounia) was a Moroccan literary prize founded to promote Moroccan literature written in French. It was awarded from 2010 to 2015 and carried a prize money of 200,000 dirhams (about $22,000 in 2015).[1]
The award was donated by the La Mamounia hotel in Marrakesh, which also hosted the award ceremonies every year.[2] A jury consisting of well known literary figures selected the recipient out of a varying number of nominations every year. From 2011 on the jury was led by the French writer and critic Christine Orban as president.[3]
Other jury members included the writers Douglas Kennedy (USA),[4] Marie Laberge (Canada),[5] Alain Mabanckou (Republic of the Congo),[3] and Mouna Hachim (Morocco).[6]
Due to financial issues the prize was not awarded after 2015.[4]
