Other Awards
In addition to the Prix Goncourt for a novel, the academy awards four other awards, for first novel, short story, biography and poetry.
As of March 2009, the académie changed the award name by dropping "bourses" ("scholarship") from the title. The prefix "prix" can be included or not, such as "Prix Goncourt de la Poésie" (Goncourt prize for Poetry) or "Goncourt de la Poésie" (Goncourt of Poetry). For example: "Claude Vigée was awarded a Goncourt de la Poésie in 2008". Or, "Claude Vigée won the 2008 prix Goncourt de la Poésie".
The award titles are:
| Pre-2009 award name | Post-2009 award name | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Bourse Goncourt de la Biographie | Prix Goncourt de la Biographie | Biography |
| Bourse Goncourt de la Nouvelle | Prix Goncourt de la Nouvelle | Short story |
| Bourse Goncourt du Premier Roman | Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman | Debut novel |
| Bourse Goncourt de la Poésie | Prix Goncourt de la Poésie | Poetry |
| Bourse Goncourt Jeunesse | discontinued | Juvenile |
