A professional jury, sponsored this year by Djiboutian writer Abdourahman Waberi , will make a selection. The rewarded book will then be published by Jean-Claude Lattès, with a co-edition in the native country of the laureate or laureate. The laureate will also benefit from a residency at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, partner of the prize.
