Prix de la Ville de Bayeux voor Jim MacMillan
Jim MacMillan, a photographer for The Associated Press, was honored Saturday with the annual Bayeux Prize for War Correspondents.
MacMillan, who covered fighting between Iraqi insurgents and U.S. troops in the holy city of Najaf, won first place in the photojournalism category, while AP photographer John Moore took second place for his work in Iraq. Both were members of the AP photo team in Iraq that won a Pulitzer Prize this year. Third place went to Roger Lemoyne (Redux Pictures) for his work in Congo.
The contest's first place award includes a cash prize of € 7600.
The Bayeux prizes were first awarded in 1994 to recognize journalists who excel in perilous conditions. Bayeux was one of the first towns liberated from Nazi occupation in the D-Day invasion of Normandy.
