Your 2009 Prix Jeune Talent de la BD Winner: Taiga Rouge
The Prix Jeune Talent de la BD has been awarded to artist Vincent Perriot and writer Arnaud Malherbe for their collaboration Taiga Rouge, which is described as a traditional adventure story that features some of today's less traditional adventure story art (in the story, they describe that general group of artists in terms of being comparable to art from Blutch, Blain and Sfar). The album, set in 1920 following the Russian Revolution, was published by Dupuis' Aire Libre imprint in June, and is the first of a planned series. I'm not sure how the honor is processed; the award is sponsored by Virgin, Le Figaro and dDB.
