    After an eventful year full of ups and downs and following popular demand, Business France North America hosted an online version of the Grand Prix V.I.E, an institution among the annual events usually held. In its latest version, the contest was entirely adapted to a digital format.

    The contest’s premise asked how all participants had adapted to the pandemic and required them to shoot a two and a half minute video detailing who they were, whom they worked for and how they had adapted their workload to the unprecedented events.

    A jury formed of CCEF and both Canadian and American French ambassadors handpicked three winning videos among the many received.

    The awards ceremony was held remotely on January 15, 2021, and the prizes (Volontaire, Innovation, Essentiel) were awarded to Camille Montier, Charlotte Bavay and Kevin Sazarin respectively. All winners received a 300 euro check and Camille Montier additionally received an airline voucher for the Prix du Volontaire.
