The two grand prize winners in the contest are Pierre Gauthier from Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues and Marie-Claude Lépine from Boucherville (Montérégie).
The two grand prize winners were chosen by a jury charged with evaluating the answers given by the 40 young finalists to the last question in the contest. For that question they were asked to write about the subjects and topics that aroused their curiosity and which they would discuss with locals in Burkina, if they were designated grand prize winners in the contest. Originality, strength and clarity of message, and quality of language were among the main criteria in evaluating the answers. The 40 finalists, whose names are listed at www.Jefaismapart.Coop, will receive gift prizes provided by DID and the contest partners.
