Jules Rimet Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jules Rimet Prize is a literary prize created in 2012 at the initiative of the association "Jules Rimet - Sport et Culture", which aims to "establish, in the spirit of the work of Jules Rimet , any action likely to ensure the promotion of the combined values of sport and culture".[1]

In particular, the association organizes, in collaboration with the winners of this prize,[2] writing workshops  for the benefit of young people.[3]

The Jules Rimet Prize aims to reward a work of French literature or foreign literature translated into French (novel, story, biography, collection of short stories, others, etc.) of which references to sport constitute one of the major elements . He is endowed with a sum of 5,000 euros.[4]

It is awarded by a jury made up of personalities from the world of sport and literature, which meets at the end of each November.[5]

The jury is currently chaired by Denis Jeambar; the other members of the jury include Raymond Domenech , Nicolas Baverez, Julia Kerninon, Paul Fournel and Eric Naulleau. Its members included, until his death in November 2022, Yves Rimet, grandson of Jules Rimet, initiator of the Football World Cup.[6]
