musée du quai branly - jacques chirac photography award
Since its launch in 2008, the musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac Photography Award has provided support for contemporary photographic creation. Each year, the museum funds the works of three laureates, selected on the basis of an original project, in coherence with their personal aesthetic path. It also supports the final production of a selection of these works towards their entry into the museum's collection.
The award is open to non-European photographers or artists using photography, with no age limit. It aims to promote the diversity of photographic practices and forms in international contemporary creation. Preference will be given to projects that demonstrate an original artistic approach and are not limited to traditional forms of documentary or reportage. The prize has no theme. Although this call for entries does not require a recommendation, it is not aimed at novice photographers. Particular attention will be paid to the quality of references and experience.
The musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac Photography Award is open to non-European photographic artists (from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania) of any age.
Each winning project will receive €30,000. This is a lump sum to cover expenses incurred in carrying out the project (travel, accommodation, technical costs, etc.) as well as the transfer of rights granted by the author for the photographic work to be included in the museum's collections.
