Deadline: 19th August 2024
Applications are now open for the Carmignac Photojournalism Award 2024 . The 15th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Prize is dedicated to Southeast Asia and the human rights and environmental violations caused by illegal fishing and overfishing.
In 2009, while the media and photojournalism were facing an unprecedented crisis, Edouard Carmignac created the Carmignac Photojournalism Prize to support photographers in the field. Every year, it funds the production of an investigative photo report on human rights violations and geostrategic issues in the world. The Fondation Carmignac provides the laureate with financial and human resources to carry out their project and produces a monograph and a travelling exhibition, with the aim of shedding light on the crises and challenges facing the contemporary world. At the end of each edition, four photographs bequeathed by the laureates become part of the Carmignac collection.
- Selected by an international jury, the winners will receive a 50,000€ grant to carry out a 9-month field report with the support of the Fondation Carmignac, which will then produce a travelling exhibition and a dedicated website.
Eligibility
- Open to all photographers, of all nationalities.
- Participation can be individual or collaborative. You don't need a press card to take part.
Application
Interested photographers are invited to submit their entries before 19 August 2024 at 23:59 (GMT).
A jury made up of experts in the field and in contemporary photography will meet in Paris in September 2024 to select the winning project, which will run from October 2024 to May 2025 and will then be the subject of a travelling exhibition and a dedicated website.
