ISEM Grand Prix for Documentary Photography 2022
ISEM Grand Prix for Documentary Photography 2022 now is over!
ISEM Grand Prix for Documentary Photography 2022: ISEM Grand Prix for Documentary Photography 2022 has been recently opened for entries, intended to help complete a documentary project already in progress, is accepting submission from photographers around the world.
Short description
CéTàVOIR, ETPA and Mediapart are partnering to support documentary photography through the ISEM Grand Prix for Documentary Photography. This award is open to all photographers to develop and complete documentary work that has
already been initiated.
How many talented photographers lack the means to finish a project? How many, after spending several months documenting a subject, stop. Because their subject is more complex than they had thought, because it requires more time than they imagined. Photographers then go on to other things hoping to find a more lucrative story, requiring less of their own funding.
Only one single creative project per participant will be accepted.
The winners application portfolio will be screened during the Grand Prix ceremony on Saturday 28th May 2022 at ImageSingulières in Sète, and published on the Mediapart website in the weeks following presentation of the Grand Prix.
ImageSingulières is the documentary photography event, created in 2009 by CéTàVOIR and directed by Valerie Laquittant and Gilles Favier. An international programme of exhibitions, films and conferences around documentary images is offered free of charge at a dozen sites in Sète. Emerging photographers, new writing or well-known works revisited, nothing is left out as long as there is food for thought about the world, with rigour, curiosity but also conviviality.
Who may enter?
The ISEM Grand Prize is open to photographers around the world.
