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.
