France Culture Names Five Novels for Its Student-Judged Prize
The broadcaster has unveiled the shortlist for the 14th Prix Roman des étudiants France Culture, drawn from this year's rentrée littéraire.
France Culture has announced its selection for the 2026 edition of the Prix Roman des étudiants, according to Livres Hebdo. Five novels from this autumn's rentrée littéraire are in contention for the 14th edition of the prize.
As in previous years, the winner will be chosen this autumn by a jury made up entirely of students, according to Livres Hebdo, which did not list the five titles selected.
The prize is one of several student-judged awards that accompany the French rentrée littéraire each year, giving younger readers a formal voice in a season otherwise dominated by professional juries and established literary prizes.
