The three Töpffer prizes for comics were awarded on Thursday November 30 at the Cube on the HEAD campus:

• The Töpffer Young Comics Prize went to Enzo Guillaume, a graduate of the Bachelor in Visual Communication 2023, for Les cailloux, ça pousse dans le sol.

The title, inspired by an old peasant belief that each time the soil is ploughed, new pebbles grow in the ground, is praised for its literary solidity.

• The Prix Töpffer Genève is awarded to Yannis La Macchia, for Naturellement.

A Geneva-based comic artist, La Macchia created a print title that he adapted into an interactive digital version, giving readers the choice of following or abandoning certain characters.

• Finally, the Grand Prix Töpffer is awarded to Rutu Modan for his body of work beyond national borders (translated into some 15 languages), his involvement in publishing for the community and his teaching activities.
