Académie Mallarmé
Académie Mallarmé is a literary association founded in 1937 by a group of writers. The author Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898), who was an important representative of symbolism, was chosen as the namesake for this association .
From the year it was founded, the Académie Mallarmé also awards the Prix Mallarmé ; the first prize winner was Jacques Audiberti . Currently (2013) the price is 3,800 EURO doped and is a respected prize for poetry. The prize is awarded in Brive-la-Gaillarde regularly at the annual book festival (Foire du Livre de Brive).
The founding members also invited Paul Claudel (1868–1955), André Gide (1869–1951) and Francis Jammes (1868–1938) to join them, but these declined membership.
