According to American film critic Dave Kehr, the award is "intended to recognize an original work that embodies the spirit of inquiry".<ref>{{cite book|last=Kehr|first=Dave|author-link=Dave Kehr|year=1992|title=45 Years: Cannes Festival International du Film|publisher=Museum of Modern Art|oclc=646921388|page=15}}</ref>
It most recent winner was the German filmmaker Valeska Grisebach for ''The Dreamed Adventure'' at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
==History== thumb|Prize official logo The award was first presented in 1946. The prize was not awarded on 10 occasions (1947, 1949, 1953, 1967, 1974–79, 1981–82, 1984, and 2001). The festival was not held at all in 1948, 1950, and 2020. In 1968, no awards were given as the festival was called off mid-way due to the May 1968 events in France. Also, the jury vote was tied and the prize was shared by two films on 21 occasions (1957, 1960, 1962–63, 1970–71, 1973, 1987, 1991–93, 1998, 2000, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2014, 2019, 2021–22, and 2025). Ken Loach and Andrea Arnold have won the most awards in this category, each winning three. Irma P. Hall is the only actress to win in this category, for her role in ''The Ladykillers'' (2004). Four directing teams have shared the award: Enrico Gras, Giorgio Moser and Leonardo Bonzi for ''Lost Continent'' (1955), Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud for ''Persepolis'' (2007), Kleber Mendonça Filho and Juliano Dornelles for ''Bacurau'' (2019), and Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch for ''The Eight Mountains'' (2022). Samira Makhmalbaf was the first woman to have won the award, for 2000's ''Blackboards''.
Since 1967, the official name of the award has been simply the ''Prix du Jury'', but it has had two other names since its creation in 1946: the ''International Jury Prize'', which was awarded for that year only,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/1946/allAward.html |title=Awards 1946 : All Awards (archived) |work=festival-cannes.fr |access-date=28 May 2017 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304115245/http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/1946/allAward.html |archive-date=4 March 2016 }}</ref> and the ''Prix spécial du Jury'' (1951–1967) that was given among other secondary prizes. In 1954, after facing much criticism about the whimsical nature of these awards, the Festival authorities decided to turn to a more traditional prize-giving arrangement.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/69-editions/history |title=The History of the Festival / The 50s |work=festival-cannes.com |access-date=14 July 2017}}</ref> Since then, the ''Prix spécial du Jury'' reappeared only twice: Christopher Hampton won that award for ''Carrington'' along with the regular ''Prix du Jury'' given to Xavier Beauvois for ''Don't Forget You're Going to Die'' in 1995; and David Cronenberg won for ''Crash'' in 1996, which was the only prize allotted by the International Jury for that year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/1995/allAward.html |title=Awards 1995 : All Awards (archived) |work=festival-cannes.fr |access-date=28 May 2017 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150103061318/http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/1995/allAward.html |archive-date=3 January 2015 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/1996/allAward.html |title=Awards 1996 : All Awards (archived) |work=festival-cannes.fr |access-date=28 May 2017 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303234056/http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/archives/1996/allAward.html |archive-date=3 March 2016 }}</ref>
British film academic Andrew M. Butler regards jury prizes such as Cannes' as a way of helping a film gain a distribution deal.<ref>{{cite book|last=Butler|first=Andrew M.|title=Film Studies|chapter=11. National Cinema|publisher=Oldacastle Books|year=2002|isbn=184243828X|page=128}}</ref>
