Since 2011, the Dakar has celebrated the best photographers through the Émilie-Poucan prize. The young woman was the press attaché for the Dakar until 2010, the year she disappeared in a plane crash on her 32nd birthday.e anniversary, in Tripoli (Libya) on May 12, 2010. It is to pay tribute to Emilie, a young woman devoted to the service of the journalists who accompanied the rally and passionate about sports images, that this competition was created.
It rewards two types of shots: from a helicopter and from the ground. A jury composed of members of the organization and competitors decides between the applications on the eve of the arrival. The Spaniard Charly Lopez, who officiates the rest of the year in WEC on behalf of the DPPI agency, was awarded for the 4e times on the Dakar, with its view of motorcyclist Kevin Benavides (KTM) jumping a dune. On the other hand, for Alsatian Jennifer Lindini, her photo taken in the AlUla Valley earned her first award. Now that makes you want to eat sand!
