The Festival pays tribute to the work carried out on a daily basis by the press photographers who contribute to the legendary event that is the Festival de Cannes.

Every day, a jury comprised of Pierre Lescure (Président du Festival de Cannes), Guillemette Odicino (Télérama journalist), Fabrice Leclerc (Cinéma France Info journalist), Catherine Beauchamp (Quebec journalist), Eric Libiot (Culture editor in chief of l’Express), et Anne Seften (Europe 1 journaliste) selects the three most striking photographs of the day.

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

On 19 May, the most remarkable photographs of this 71st edition of the competition will be awarded a prize.
