Deadline: 29 January 2024
Nominations are now open for the Prix Elysée 2025, an international photography prize of CHF 80,000 dedicated to mid-career artists created by Photo Elysée with the support of Parmigiani Fleurier.
Grant Information
- The following grants will be awarded as part of the Prix Elysée:
- A contribution of CHF 5,000 to each of the 8 nominated artists
- A prize worth CHF 80,000 to the winner
- The photographers may only use these sums to carry out the work required as part of the Prix Elysée.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Prix Elysée is aimed at photographers or artists who make use of photography. Artists should have experienced exhibiting in group and/or solo shows – in galleries, museums, or other cultural institutions – and publications that have brought them national recognition, or even international visibility.
- Applications are welcome from artists of any age or nationality. They may submit work as individuals or a collective. In the case of a collective application, the group of artists must nominate a representative to act as the museum’s contact. Individual and collective applications will be assessed in exactly the same way.
- Photographers who have established their career through exhibitions and publications, but have not yet enjoyed a mid-career retrospective, are the ideal stage to apply.
- Work submitted for consideration should employ photography primarily, but artists are invited to explore the image. For example, photographic collage or camera-less photography are welcome.
Rights and Responsibilities
- All texts and images submitted as part of the Prix Elysée must be free of third party rights following the submission of applications.
- Photo Elysée and Parmigiani Fleurier will have the necessary rights for publicity and promoting the Prix Elysée by the museum and Parmigiani Fleurier, for publication in the press and projection in the course of all aforementioned events.
- These obligations remain in force for the nominees until the winner is announced. The winner’s image rights will be detailed in a separate contract with the museum.
