Bayeux-Calvados Awards for war correspondents
The Bayeux-Calvados Awards for war correspondents (Prix Bayeux-Calvados des correspondants de guerre) is an annual prize awarded since 1994, by the city of Bayeux and the General Council of Calvados. Its goal is to pay tribute to journalists who work in dangerous conditions to allow the public access to information about war areas.
The award was launched as part of the fiftieth anniversary of the Normandy landings. It is awarded in Bayeux, which was one of the first French cities to be liberated in the Second World War, in a conference that includes a book fair, a media forum, discussion evenings, and youth-oriented events.
The award has ten categories:
- Written press
- Television
- Radio
- Photo
- Grand Format Television
- Young reporter
- Web journalism
- Lower Normandy Secondary School Students’ Prize
- Ouest-France – Jean Marin Prize
- Public Prize
