Prix littéraire SPG


Created in 2014 on the initiative of Thierry Barbier-Mueller, Managing Director and CEO of Société Privée de Gérance, the SPG Literary Prize for the first novel in French-speaking Switzerland rewards each year the first work of fiction (novel) by a French-speaking author, written in French and published by a Swiss publishing house. The aim of this prize is to promote the literary creation of the French-speaking part of Switzerland and its distribution, to encourage new authors from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, and to support the French-speaking publishing industry and its actors. The SPG Literary Prize for the first novel in French-speaking Switzerland is endowed with CHF 5,000 (five thousand francs).

This year, the Prize will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a great program.
