The winners of Cannes photo contest, organized for the first year, in partnership with tourism professionals in Cannes, on the theme "Unusual Cannes" were rewarded on December 16th at the Palais des Festivals of Cannes. The ceremony was attended by David Lisnard, President and Martine Giuliani, CEO.
Created and organized by the Sales and Marketing Department of the Cannes Palais des Festivals, as part of the communication campaign "Cannes is Yours" the on-line contest recorded throughout the summer a participation of 154 amateur photographers, tourists and locals, of all nationalities. The photos were uploaded on the Net via the dedicated website www.cannes-photo.fr.
In his address to the audience, Mr David Lisnard emphasized that Cannes was a place where all year long, through the shows and fairs it hosts, creators were promoting their products to the whole world. This photo contest was also a way for creators to express their emotions and share their creations with the outside world, mostly by using social media.
After deliberation the jury of artists and professionals of the communication (Rose Torrente-Mett, President of the Jury, founder of haute-couture house Torrente, Gilles Traverso, photographer, Janie Samet, fashion journalist, Patrick Moya, contemporary artist, Laurence Jenkell, sculptor), six participants were rewarded.
