About the magazine

The Prix de la création Radio-Canada is a longstanding literary award dedicated to the short story, operated by Canada's public broadcaster. Since its inception, it has served as a vital platform for emerging and established Francophone writers, reflecting Radio-Canada's commitment to cultural enrichment and the dissemination of original literary voices. The prize is awarded annually for an unpublished short story, with the winning text broadcast on Radio-Canada's airwaves and published in a prominent literary magazine, thereby offering significant visibility to its recipient.
