30th Bayeux Award Calvados-Normandie for War Correspondents

At the dawn of the 80th anniversary of the D-Day, the City of Bayeux, the Calvados Department, the Normandy Region and their partners wanted to return to the roots by offering a large exhibition dedicated to the correspondents who covered the D-Day.

For this special edition, one of the biggest names in journalism will chair the international jury, a legend of war reporting: the British Don McCullin. On the occasion of the release of a book about his work, his most striking shots will be displayed on the walls of the city.

The week will of course be marked by Ukraine and the return of the war in Europe… 30 years after the former Yugoslavia.
But the programming does not forget the less publicized conflicts such as Afghanistan or the endless civil war of the Congo and its 5 million deaths in 30 years, exposed to the Radar.

Audacious, the Bayeux Prize also explores all forms of narration and will propose an exhibition around a comic strip on the revolt in Iran; an exhibition on Ukraine made on glass plates, using a process used for the Crimean War of 1854, first documented war, and even an exhibition in an abandoned building.

A highly symbolic rendezvous in the place envisaged to shelter a future center of war journalism.
