The Grand Prix is an award of the Cannes Film Festival bestowed by the jury of the festival on one of the competing feature films. It is the second-most prestigious prize of the festival after the Palme d'Or . Prior to its creation, the Special Jury Prize held the “second place.”
Since 1995, the official name of the award has been simply the Grand Prix , but it has had two other names since its creation in 1967: Grand Prix Spécial du Jury (1967-1988), and Grand Prix du Jury (1989-1994).
In addition, the award should not be confused with the Grand Prix du Festival International du Film , which is the previous name of the Palme d'Or, the highest prize of the Cannes Film Festival.[1]
