The Godon Trophy may give rise to the creation of a museum in Le Touquet for unknown artists
Empowered by the success of 10,000 visitors last year, the town council of Le Touquet has re-initiated the Godon Trophy (our previous edition). In its second year, the Festival of Le Touquet has 1,000 applications from artists seeking to compete in front of a grand panel of judges. “It’s a real success” declares Alain Godon. The selection process is more robust this year. Of the 1,000 applicants, only 320 of those seeking fame have been selected to exhibit at the Town Hall and the Palais des Congrès. A great understanding appears to have been forged since the first festival between the Deputy and Mayor, Daniel Fasquelle, and Alain Godon. “There are few artists like Alain investing as much in terms of both time and money to help young artists” notes the Mayor of Le Touquet.
