Deadline: August 19, 2024
Applications are open for the Carmignac Photojournalism Award 2024. The 15th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award is dedicated to Southeast Asia and the violations of human and environmental rights caused by illegal fishing and overfishing.
In 2009, while media and photojournalism faced an unprecedented crisis, Edouard Carmignac created the Carmignac Photojournalism Award to support photographers in the field. Every year, it funds the production of an investigative photo reportage on human rights violations and geo-strategic issues in the world. The Fondation Carmignac provides the laureate with financial and human resources to carry out their project and produces both a monograph and a traveling exhibition, aiming to shed light on the crises and challenges which the contemporary world is facing. At the end of each edition, four photographs bequeathed by the laureates are included in the Carmignac collection.
Award
- Selected by an international jury, the laureates receive a €50,000 grant to carry out a 9-month field report with the support of the Fondation Carmignac, which produces, upon their return, a travelling exhibition and a dedicated website.
Eligibility
- Open to all photographers, of all nationalities.
- Participation can be individual or collaborative. It is not necessary to have a press card to participate.
Application
Interested photographers are invited to submit their applications before August 19, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. (GMT).
A jury consisting of experts on the subject and contemporary photography will meet in Paris in September 2024 to select the winning project which will then run from October 2024 to May 2025 and after that will be the subject of a travelling exhibition and a dedicated website.
