François Vochelle won the first prize in the 2015 photo competition (a round-trip to Saba / St Eustache / Tortola or St Kitts offered by Winair) on the theme “The Charismatic figures of Saint-Barthelemy”. His photo of “Papy Serge, the man with a big heart” was unanimous within the jury composed of Valentine Badereau, Gaby Jeanol, Brigitte Feillet, Bruno Dreyer and Laurent Benoit. He also won the Public Prize (100 €) by gathering the greatest number of “likes” on the Facebook page of the association.

The second prize, an advanced photography course offered by photographer Jean-Philippe Piter, was awarded to Abigael Leese for her photo “Mady Rimbaud, charisma of a precious stone”.

The 3rd prize, a dive offered by the Club Ouanalao Dive, goes to Jean-François Tricot for his photo of “Romon Beal, sitting on the pediment of his house”. 

Encouraging the photographer as much as the spectator to the reflection, our contest had as objective to show, in a new light, those around us who make the wealth and the diversity of our island: men and women of any age, of any origin and any horizon.

7 people participated in this edition.
