This must be a story that, if it were in English, could be submitted in one of these four categories: Best Family Feature, OR Best Outdoors/Adventure Feature, OR Best Food/Wine Feature, OR Best Cultural/Historical Feature.
The purpose of this restriction is to focus on stories where the writing quality and the strength of the narrative are the two key elements, so that the judging may be done uniformly across all entries.
The feature must be written, by the author, in French. It may be a translation of an English-language story, but the translation must be done by its author, not by the newspaper or magazine in which it appears.
