Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents

The Bayeux Calvados-Normandy Award for war correspondents (French: Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie des correspondants de guerre), previously the Bayeux-Calvados Awards for war correspondents, is an annual prize awarded since 1994, by the city of Bayeux and the Departmental 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.
