Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents
The Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents, previously the Bayeux-Calvados Awards for war correspondents, is an annual prize awarded since 1994, by the city of Bayeux and the Departamental 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.
