More than forty war correspondents have gathered in Bayeux on October 11th and 12th to debate and award trophies in the following categories: photo, print, radio, television, grand format television, young reporter (print) and video image. Three honorary awards have been attributed: the Regional prize for students and trainees of Normandy (television), the Public’s Choice award (photo) and the Ouest-France – Jean Marin prize (print). Presided by Gary Knight, the international jury of the 26th edition of the Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents has reached its verdict…
“In every category, the jury converged on a few stories, there wasn’t a lot of dispute. We had a really great conversation amongst the jury, interesting, lively and with very good humour. Plus it is wonderfull to see my colleagues and it is also great to know what they have to say about that work. We can challenge each other and I love having this conversations. It makes it all smarter.”
