In late June, picture editors from international magazines chose the best young reporter for the Ville de Perpignan Rémi Ochlik Award which is being presented for the tenth time. The jury selected the young photographer who, in their opinion, produced the best reportage, either published or unpublished, in 2014/2015. The Ville de Perpignan awards the prize of €8000. The award were presented at the evening show on Friday, September 4. The 2015 winner is Edouard Elias / Getty Images Reportage for his reportage on the French Foreign Legion in the Central African Republic, which is featured as an exhibition this year at Visa pour l’Image-Perpignan.
