Grand Prix de la Ville d'Angoulême
The Grand Prix de la Ville d'Angoulême (translated "Grand Prix of the City of Angoulême") is an award that has been presented since 1974 at the Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angoulême . At the time of the award, comic artists who are still alive will be honored for their complete works or for their historical significance for the development of comics.
Most of the winners come from French-speaking countries, but illustrators from other countries were also honored. The winners will be determined by a jury made up of the previous award winners. In some years the prize was awarded twice because the festival was celebrating an anniversary.
