This Prize Awarded by the Audience - Cultura is awarded to comics authors at the Angoulême International Comics Festival since 1989.
The prize was known as Alph-Art du public from 1989 to 2003, the Prix du public from 2004 to 2006, in 2008 and 2009 the Essentiel FNAC-SNCF, since it was sponsored by the retailer Fnac and railway authority SNCF, in 2010 and 2010 the Fauve Fnac SNCF - Prix du Public and in 2012 Prix de la BD Fnac. At the end of 2018, the prize is "interrupted" because of the lack of sponsor.
