A great way to highlight their contributions and their investment.
For several years now, the editorial staff of West France du Calvados is launching a competition for the best photos from the department's local press correspondents.
From January to December, in towns and villages, these women and men, who are not professional journalists, are the interlocutors of residents, traders, associations or institutional actors. A portrait, an encounter, essential information locally, they are there to capture it and make it known.
They are, in connection with the six editorial offices of Calvados, a real asset for the newspaper and allow both the large and the very small town to appear in our columns and on our website.

A double competition
This photo competition, which allows their contributions to be highlighted, is in fact a double competition: on the one hand the Internet Users' Prize, awarded thanks to online votes on our site; and, on the other, the Editorial Prize, the result of the votes of journalists and agency secretaries from Calvados.
For the year 2024, the Internet Users' Prize goes to François Buquet, correspondent on the Côte de Nacre, and in particular in Lion-sur-Mer, where he photographed, in August, a wedding celebrated as in the 1900s.
The Editorial Prize is awarded to Frédéric Lefebvre, correspondent in Honfleur, for his acrobatic photo of the tilted mast game taken on the occasion of July 14 in Honfleur.
