This jury of readers will meet on Saturday February 1, behind the scenes of the Festival, to deliberate, vote and elect the winner of the 6th Fauve d’Angoulême Audience Prize – France Télévisions which will be awarded during the festival’s awards ceremony the same evening.
In 2024, the Prize was awarded to the Spanish author Beatriz Lema for the comic strip Evils to say published by the editions Blowgun. We then met her to get her reaction. An interview can be found here.
The public prize will also contribute to making the project visible in Spain, because the Angoulême Festival is a reference throughout the world
