For the 2026 edition, the jury brings together a selection of eclectic personalities with sharp and recognized perspectives from the worlds of photography, art, skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding. Photographers, filmmakers, artists, and board culture enthusiasts will bring their unique visions and sensibilities to celebrate and highlight the images selected for the festival’s main exhibition. As every year, the exhibition will be presented at the Casino de Biarritz, and each photographer will be in the running to win one of the many trophies.

For this third edition of the B.C.E. Awards, the jury will be chaired by Thibaut de Longeville, a Franco-Senegalese director, producer, and artistic director, creator of major projects such as Quai 54 and the award-winning series DJ Mehdi: Made In France, working at the crossroads of the worlds of surfing, skateboarding, basketball, and hip-hop culture.

A big thank you to all the members of the jury for their commitment and the valuable time they are devoting to this new edition.
