The European Award For Congolese Literature, known as the Prix Makomi is an annual literary prize awarded by the European Union National Institutes for Culture. The prize ceremony is held annually at the Fête du Livre de Kinshasa, which takes place November 12-16.[1]

History

The prize was started by EUNIC in order to promote publishing of books in the DRC. The prize is now supported by the European Union delegation through the many European cultural institutions in the DRC, including the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles, Goethe-Institut, Institut français, Académie des Beaux-Arts and Instituto Camões.[2]
