La Mamounia literary award

The La Mamounia literary award (French: prix de La Mamounia) was a Moroccan literary prize founded to promote Moroccan literature written in French. It was awarded from 2010 to 2015 and carried a prize money of 200,000 dirhams (about $22,000 in 2015).[1]

The award was donated by the La Mamounia hotel in Marrakesh, which also hosted the award ceremonies every year. A jury consisting of well known literary figures selected the recipient out of a varying numer of nominations every year. From 2011 on the jury was led by the French writer and critic Christine Orban as president. Other jury members included the writers Douglas Kennedy (USA), Marie Laberge (Canada), Vincent Engel (Belgium) und Alain Mabanckou (Republic of the Congo). The internationally best known recipient is French-Moroccan writer Leïla Slimani, who later went on to win the Prix Goncourt in France. Due to financial issues the prize was not awarded after 2015.[2][3][1][4]

Recipients
gollark: I mean this semiunironically. It is *already* possible to generate fairly artistic images automatically via CLIP+VQGAN and similar things. This will only improve over time. Because people often like knowing that people went to some effort to make a thing, though (see handmade goods, etc.) there will probably be demand for human art anyway.
gollark: You are MUCH like Intel's flagship Xeon Platinum 8380 "Ice Lake" 2P server configuration.
gollark: Art will be automated in 10 years anyway.
gollark: If no moon is detected in 24 hours of scanning, it is deemed not there.
gollark: This would work by using shodan and/or scanning the entire IP address space for IP cameras, then looking for the moon in their feeds.
