Participants must provide their surname, first name and email address on the registration form; their postal address and telephone number are optional fields.

The short stories will be read and judged by a reading committee made up of members of the Le Monde des livres editorial board (Raphaelle REROLLE, President, Jean BIRNBAUM, Alain BEUVE-MERY and Christine ROUSSEAU) and if possible, a representative of Air France.
No later than 30 September 2011, the reading committee will choose two winners:
One winner having written a story on board the new Air France Boeing 777
One winner from among the participants who have posted a story on the contest website.
The winners will be personally notified [by email or by telephone] by Société Editrice du Monde of the result and of the concrete means for taking possession of their prizes, during the month after the end of the contest. No message will be sent to the other participants.
The winners will be invited to attend an evening "award" presentation during the month of October 2011 at the head office of Société Editrice du Monde.
The short stories will be published in Le Monde des Livres and, in the case of the story written on board the aircraft, in Air France Magazine, within six months of the end of the contest (31 July 2011).
However, the two organizing companies reserve the option of not publishing the winning stories should their literary qualities prove to be clearly insufficient.
Each contest participant shall agree, in the event that he or she is a designated winner, to grant worldwide rights to reproduction, representation and adaptation of the short story in question exclusively and free of charge to Société Editrice du Monde and to Société Air France, for a first publication of the story in Le Monde and on the lemonde.fr website and, if requested, in Air France Magazine, between 30 September 2011 and 31 January 2012.
Each participant declares and guarantees that he/she is the sole holder of the intellectual property rights to the story presented, that consequently, he/she has the sole right to transfer rights to the story and that no contract has been concluded with a third party which might prevent publication of the story under the conditions described above.
Société Editrice du Monde and Air France in turn undertake to give the name of the winner each time the short story is reproduced.
Article 4 The expense incurred in participating in the contest via the internet shall be reimbursed on request in the following manner:
The connection cost incurred for participation will be reimbursed on the basis of one 3-minute internet connection at the local France Telecom rate (0.16 euros including tax / minute).
Requests for reimbursement must be made by writing no later than 30 September 2011, as evidenced by the postmark, to the contest address: Société Editrice du Monde – Concours Prix de la nouvelle Le Monde des livres – Air France - 80, boulevard Auguste Blanqui - 75707 Paris cedex 13.
However, participants who subscribe to unlimited internet connection packages may not request reimbursement, it being understood that the subscription is independent of participation in the contest and that accessing the website incurs no additional expense.
Participants must clearly indicate on the request for reimbursement:
their first name, surname and address
their telephone number
the name of the contest
the date and hour of internet connection
and must provide the detailed invoice from the telecommunication operator or internet service provider.
Because reimbursement shall be made only by bank transfer or cheque, it is imperative to provide the participant's bank details.
Only one reimbursement will be made per participant (same name, same address).
No request for reimbursement may be made by telephone or email.
Any incomplete request or any request bearing insufficient postage or sent later than the deadline will be rejected.
The expense (stamp at the current rate for slow mail) incurred in making this request may also be reimbursed if requested at the same time as the connection cost.
