The artist Charlotte Dauphin brought her creative vision to the design of the trophy for the Humann Prize.

 

Crafted in aluminum, the sculpture takes the form of an elegant curved sheet of metal, suggesting both a rolled leaf and a cinematic screen, while subtly tracing the letter “C” for Cinema, Cannes, and Change.

​

This creation is deeply rooted in Charlotte Dauphin’s personal connection to cinema, her work as a filmmaker, actress and visual artist, and her family history.

 

Since 1921, the Dauphin Group (now Cityz Media), founded by her grandfather Jacques Dauphin, has played an active role in supporting the arts, cinema, and particularly the Cannes Film Festival through major advertising campaigns, including around the Caméra d’Or.

Through the Dauphin Foundation’s support of the Humann Prize, Charlotte Dauphin wishes to carry forward the spirit and commitment of her family, while giving artistic form to a distinction dedicated to humanity, conscience, and change.
