# Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents

The Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents (French: Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie des correspondants de guerre), previously the Bayeux-Calvados Awards for war correspondents, is an annual prize awarded since 1994, by the city of Bayeux and the Departmental Council of Calvados and now the Normandy Region in France. Its goal is to pay tribute to journalists who work in dangerous conditions to allow the public access to information about war.

## Details

The award was launched as part of the fiftieth anniversary of the Normandy landings. It is awarded in Bayeux, one of the first French cities to be liberated in the Second World War, .
The Bayeux Prize aims to raise public awareness of the profession of war reporter. It takes place during one week each year, in October, including several exhibitions, a book fair, a media forum, discussion evenings, movie screenings and youth-oriented events to participate in education to media. The event focusses on journalism and reporting about a conflict or post-conflict situation, or about an event related to the defense of freedoms and democracy.
The award has had twelve categories since 1994:
* Daily news
* Magazine
* Photojournalism
* Radio
* Television
* Large Format Television
* Web journalism
* Young reporter
* Lower Normandy Secondary School Students’ Prize
* Ouest-France – Jean Marin Prize (Print journalism)
