French ET contest...?

I need some help!

 

I am going to be interviewed on Norwegian radio Monday about "Mars in science fiction" since the movie War of the Worlds opens here on Wednesday.

 

I am doing some research and have found all I need except *one* thing: I seem to remember something about a competition in France at the beginning of the 1900s. The aim was to provide the first solid evidence for extraterrestrial life. But Mars was *excluded* because life there was a given (!). However, I am unable to find any sources.

 

Is anyone able to help me out?

 

And if you don't have the answer to this, feel free to list your favorite sci-fi books about Mars. I might have missed some good ones.
