The prize is open to co-authored works, whether the co-authors are both engaged in writing a book (interview or dialogue format, for example) or whether the co-authors are a pen – writer or journalist – and a personality “ witness ».
You are eligible for this first edition if your book was published between January 1 and December 31, 2024, the closing date for registrations.
The jury will be made up of members from the literary, artistic and media worlds. In June 2025, they will serve two prizes during an evening to be held at the Buddha-Bar (Paris):
The Galatea Testimony Prize : open to works which highlight the truth of a character, whatever the field: biography, profession of faith, opinion, know-how…
The Duo Galatea Prize : open to all fields and subjects, documentary works, essays, autobiographical stories, current affairs investigation, research, philosophy, travel…
The creation of this award celebrates the unique synergy that arises from the collaboration between two co-authors. This four-handed work creates a dialogue and a bond of tremendous intimacy where the text emerges enriched with the words and thoughts of the other.
– Anna Véronique El Baze, creator of the prize
