More than forty war correspondents have gathered in Bayeux on October 11th and 12th to debate and award seven 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 Clarissa Ward, the international jury of the 31st edition of the Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents has reached its verdict…

I was so impressed by the work that we were judging. So beautiful, bold, brave and vital… I wish we could award everyone. We had very important conversations in this room. The discussions and debates were also very illuminating for me: I learnt a lot from the perspectives and the different visions of my TV, radio, photo or print colleagues. It made me very proud to be a journalist. ”
Clarissa Ward
