The François Chalais Prize (French: Prix François Chalais) is awarded at two main events, the Cannes Film Festival (since 1997)[1] and the Young Reporters' Awards (since 1999).[2] It has also offered awards for the Film Festival of Sarlat (2006–2009),[3] and for the Scénario Honfleur (2006–2009).[4]

The François Chalais Prize was created in 1996 by his wife Mei-Chen Chalais to pay tribute to the work of the great reporter and film-maker who covered nearly fifty editions of the Festival. It is awarded each year on the eve of the official competition awards announcement and rewards a film dedicated to the values of journalism.[5]
