Prix David
The Prix David (David Prize), also known as Les concours littéraires du Québec,[1] was created in 1923 by the Secretary of the Province of Quebec, Athanase David, in memory of his father, Laurent-Olivier David. These prizes were awarded to writers or researchers who submitted the best literary or scientific works to the province's literary and scientific competitions.
In 1937, the prize was renamed the "Prix de la province de Québec", but in the early 1960s "Prix David" was reintroduced for literature laureates.[2]
In 1968, the Prix Athanase-David was created to recognize a writer's body of work. In 1970, Les concours littéraires du Québec ended, to be replaced by the Prix du Québec in 1977.
The Prix David archives are held at the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec in Montreal.[3]
