The works, chosen for their graphic and narrative quality, were selected by the network's librarians to offer a varied range of styles.

A successful first edition

The awards ceremony was the culmination of several months of lecture and varied activities. Workshops were organized for children, allowing them to discover the creation of comic strips.

Thanks to the BDNF softwarethey were able to imagine and create their own comic strip, an experience much appreciated by the young participants.

Exhibitions around comics also enlivened the spaces of the media library, providing a dynamic and interactive setting for this event.

RMTE Prize winners

The results crowned the winners in each category. The Youth Prize was awarded to Of amber and fire, by Agnès Domergue and Hélène Canacwhile the Adult prize saw two comics awarded ex-aequo: The Little Brother by Jean-Louis Tripp et Sakura Spring by Marie Jaffredo.

Three participants were also drawn and won vouchers: €30 for adults and €20 for children.

“When we say that comics are the 9th art, we’re not wrong! » exclaims Béatrice Lefel, first deputy mayor of Elbeuf.
