More than thirty war correspondents have gathered in Bayeux on October 9th and 10th to debate and award trophies in the following categories: photo, print, radio, television, grand format television, young reporter (photo) 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 Ed Vulliamy, the international jury of the 27th edition of the Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents has reached its verdict…
“I am absolutely exhausted, not for lack of sleep but for the intensity of what we’ve been doing. It is the honor of a lifetime to chair the jury. The Prix Bayeux is the epicentre, the centre of gravity of our profession. What is wonderful about the deliberations of the jury is that there is nor right or wrong : we have to make a judgement but it is impossible by definition. We are choosing between best and better.”
Ed Vulliamy
