They help prize winners finance their next film project, and the first place winner is awarded the honor of presenting his or her first feature at the Festival itself.
• The Caméra d'or Prize: presented during the Festival's closing ceremony, it is an award for the best first feature presented in one of the Cannes' selections (Official Selection, Director's Fortnight or International Critic's Week).
