The Jean Ferre Prize ( French: Prix Jean-Ferré ) is a French literary award established in 1997 by the French radio station Radio Courtoisie. It is awarded annually to the author, who, according to the staff of the radio station, made the greatest contribution to the French language. The prize was originally known as the Dode Prize in honor of Alfonso Dode and his son Leon Dode . In a controversy on Radio Courtoisie, after the death of its founder, Jean Ferret, and the withdrawal of the use of the Daudet name by Jean-Louis Daudet, the heir to Leon Daudet, the prize was renamed the Jean Ferret prize. The award was renamed in 2007. [one]
