As a novelty this year, Livres dans la Boucle offers 4th grade students the opportunity to participate in the Standing Man Award, in homage to Victor Hugo, born in Besançon in 1802.

To participate, the candidates are invited to produce a text on the subject and recite it in front of a jury during the festival.
