Price 12-17
The 12-17 Crédit Agricole Centre-France Prize rewards a writer for middle school students (12-14 years old) and another for high school students (15-17 years old). The winners are French-speaking authors.
A children's literature prize
Supported by Crédit Agricole Centre-France, the Brive Book Fair awards two prizes to authors of children's literature. The jury is made up of experts from these age groups since they are young middle and high school students from Brive-la-Gaillarde, who after reading the works of the selected authors debate them with the librarians and librarians to establish the prize list!
Before 1998, the 12-17 prize for children's literature was awarded jointly to a Quebec author and a French author as part of the 12/17 Brive-Montréal Prize.

2023 Edition
The winners of the 2023 edition are: Laetitia Lajoinie who received the 12/14 prize for his work “The Oath of the Trackers » (La Martinière editions) and Rachel Corenblit for the 15/17 prize with his novel “ Like a family» (Nathan Jeunesse).
- The Oath of the Trackers follows two heroines who are completely opposed to each other, forced to collaborate to save their respective sides. In this novel, magic is central and finds its source at the heart of life. While men have abused it to satisfy their thirst for power, chaos threatens. However, only peace between men can appease the anger of the elements...
- Like a family is a family chronicle filled with humor and hope that spans 50 years, mixing big and small stories. Told by the members of a family captured during their adolescence, this poignant novel touched the hearts of the jurors, seduced by this fascinating journey through time, the reading of which proved to be completely addictive for them.
