Call for Applications: Prize for Photography 2024 (Europe)

The Prix pour la Photographie du musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac has supported contemporary photographic creation. Each year, the museum finances the creations of three winners, selected on the basis of an original project, consistent with their artistic trajectory. It also takes charge of the final production of a selection of these works which then becomes part of the museum’s collection. Focused on demanding photography practiced throughout the world, the program is not limited to documentary practice and is open to broader forms of image production.
