Journalists and photographers around the world are invited to apply for the 2005 Bayeux-Calvados Awards, which honour excellence in war reporting.

The competition is open to reporters and photographers who work for media outlets or as freelancers.

Award winners will be given a cash prize of 7,600 Euro (US$9,800) and a trophy.
