This year, the Société pour la Protection des Paysages et de l'Esthétique de la France (SPPEF) has created a national literary prize – the Livre des Paysages “Sites et Monuments” Prize, which will be awarded annually to a recently published work in the French language illustrating, in whatever form, the landscapes of Europe.

At a time when "unprecedented threats" have come to bear upon our landscape heritage, the SPPEF has taken account of the close link between reality and its depiction and created the prize with the aim of raising awareness among the public at large.

The first Livre de Paysages "Sites and Monuments" Prize is due to be awarded in autumn 2010.
