The Photographers’ Prize
To mark its 70th anniversary, the Festival de Cannes has created the 'Photographers' Prize".
With this new initiative, the Festival is seeking to showcase the daily work of the press photographers whose contribution to the legend of Cannes is unquestioned. Each day, a Jury will select the three most striking images.
The three daily photographs will be displayed on the Festival website and exhibited on the Journalists' Terrace on level 4 of the Palais des Festivals.
