The Micheline Saint-Cyr Award is a short story contest that rewards some of York’s best students in French writing. It was created by Professor Lélia Young in 2002 during her role as president of the Société des écrivain-e-s de Toronto (la SET). The Micheline Saint-Cyr Prize is an annual French-language short story contest that celebrates writing produced by York students. Each year, the best short story is awarded a prize of $150 and the writer is celebrated during a special event hosted by the Department of French Studies. The contest is open to all undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students enrolled in French studies.
