In celebration of its 70th anniversary, the Festival de Cannes launched its Photographer's Award.

The Festival decided to pay tribute to the tireless work embarked upon day after day by the press photographers who contribute to the iconic event that is the Festival de Cannes. Every day, a jury comprised of Pierre Lescure (Festival de Cannes President), Florence Leroy (Sud Radio journalist), Guillemette Odicino (Télérama journalist) and Laurent Weil (Canal + journalist) selected the three most striking photographs of the day.
 

The top three photos of the day were uploaded to the festival's website and showcased at the Terrasse des Journalistes, Palais des Festivals – Level 4.

ON 28 MAY, THE JURY REACHED A VERDICT. THE ULTIMATE PHOTO FOR THIS FIRST EDITION OF THE COMPETITION WAS ALAN SCHOENAUER'S SNAP OF THE Cinéma de la Plage.

Alan Schoenauer first began covering the Festival de Cannes as a photographer in 1980, snapping his first Official Selection photograph of Bob Fosse's All that Jazz. Represented by his agency, Aloha Pictures, his work focuses on celebrities and travel. Alan Schoenauer already boasts over thirty photography exhibitions to his name in France, in FNAC shops, and in cinemas in particular.
