Prix Erckmann-Chatrian

The prix Erckmann-Chatrian is a literary award from Lorraine, awarded every year since 1925 in memory of the literary duo Erckmann-Chatrian. It rewards a written prose work by someone form Lorraine or about Lorraine.[1] It is often nicknamed the "Goncourt lorrain".[2] The jury consists of literary figures of the four Lorraine departments.

In 1989, a scholarship was added to the prize, a scholarship for historical narrative and monograph. In 1993, this scholarship was divided into "scholarship for history" and "scholarship for monograph".
