The international jury, chaired by Paula Jacques (France-Egypt), will designate the winner on December 16, 2021 and the International Organization of La Francophonie (OIF) will then ensure its promotion on the international literary scene for an entire year.

Remember that the Five Continents Prize, created in 2001 by the OIF, rewards each year a narrative fictional text (novel, story and collection of short stories) original in French; it is endowed with an amount of 15,000 euros for the winner and 5,000 euros for the special mention

The awards ceremony is scheduled for March 20, 2022, on the sidelines of the International Day of La Francophonie which will be celebrated as part of the Universal Exhibition in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
