What is the Dominique Méreuze Prize 2021?
The Dominique Méreuze Prize is a competition initiated by the FFPLUM Young Pilots Division and set up in collaboration with the DGAC, represented by Evelyne Gogneau and Yvette Méreuze (Dominique Méreuze’s wife). This fourth edition is reserved for young members. Its aim is to reward work by young people in the microlight world, to promote microlighting to other young people and to honour the memory of Dominique Méreuze (a notable figure in the microlight world and a former president of the FFPLUM).
A jury will select the most original entries that best match this year’s theme: “ My ideal microlight journey ”.
Who was Dominique Méreuze?
In 1998, he was elected President of FFPLUM. He would contribute greatly to the development of the microlight movement in France.
