Each year, the Revelation awards emerging authors at the Quai des Bulles festival in Saint-Malo. The winner receives €5,000 and a dedicated exhibition on the walls of the ADAGP, accompanied by either a critical text or photographs of his or her work. The Revelation is awarded in partnership with the festival Quai des bulles (Saint-Malo).
Who can apply?
The Comic Strip Revelation is open to complete authors (script and drawing) from the French scene who have published a maximum of 3 titles, including one between 1 June of the previous year and 31 May of the current year.
How do I apply?
Send the book(s) that meet these criteria to the Quai des Bulles association before 3 June 2024. At the end of the selection process, a jury made up of artists, journalists and professionals will choose the winner, who will be celebrated during the next Quai des Bulles festival.
