4 other winners from Malawi, Lesotho and South Africa, will go to France in 2025 as their journey had to be postponed.

Winners stayed for two weeks, from 02 to 13 December, in Annecy in the French Alps.

Annecy, often called the “Venice of the Alps,” is a picturesque town in southeastern France known for its stunning lake, charming canals, and breathtaking mountain views. The town is famous for its historic Old Town, with cobbled streets, colorful buildings, and the iconic Palais de l’Isle.  As part of their prize, six competition winners had the opportunity to experience this beautiful destination, immersing themselves in its culture, scenery, and vibrant artistic atmosphere.

Thank you once again to everyone who took part in this year’s competition. Your creativity and passion for the French language are truly inspiring. Keep learning, keep exploring, and see you in the next edition!
