Pierre & Alexandra Boulat Award

The award, which is being sponsored for the fifth time by LaScam (the collecting society for multimedia authors), is designed to help a photographer carry out an original reporting project.
The award, with prize money of €8000, was presented during the evening show on Thursday, September 5 to the winner, Axelle de Russé / Hans Lucas. The winner was chosen for her report, “On the Outside,” describing the life of female prisoners once they have been released. In France women account for 3.6% of all detainees, a minority that is scarcely visible. Once outside, they often end up isolated and ostracized, and it is a long, hard path to rehabilitation.
