 The Fondation Napoléon History Prizes and Grand Prix
 As part of its mission to encourage research and public interest in the history of the two empires, every year an independent jury composed of some of the best First and Second Empire historians awards in the name of the Fondation Napoléon three history prizes.
These prizes, each of 5,000 Euros, are awarded respectively to:
- a work in French on the
history of France's First Empire
- a work in French on the
history of France's Second Empire
- a work in a language which is
not French on the history of France's First or Second
Empires, or a literary or artistic work or action related to the history of France's First or Second Empires. In particular, this prize can be awarded to a historian, academic, writer, artist, curator or manager of a Napoleonic establishment "for their career".
Of these three prize-winners, the jury will then choose the overall winner, the "Grand Prix de la Fondation Napoléon",
awarding a further 5,000 Euros. The Jury may decide not to award a prize in a specific category.
Eligible works must have been published or performed for the first time between the 1st October
in year 'n minus one' and 30th September in year 'n' (for example, in 2005, between 1st October 2004 and 30th September, 2005).
To compete for a History Prize, all you have to do is:
- For a book: send 15 copies of
the work to the Fondation Napoléon (and NOT directly
to the members of the jury) who will then send them on
to the jury.
- For audio-visual or musical works: send in the same way fifteen copies of the work, with accompanying presentation dossier.
