Youth readership promotion

Marquis and its division Laurentien actively promote youth readership across Canada by sponsoring literary awards, events and activities for more than 15 years.

These prizes promote Quebec and Franco-Canadian literature among Quebec French teachers, stimulate their interest in these works and help their students to know and appreciate them. Marquis offers one prize to the winner in each of the five categories of youth literature and the printing of promotional material.
