Carmignac Photojournalism Award 2023

Selected by an international jury, the laureate will receive a €50,000 grant to carry out a 6-month field report with the support of the Fondation Carmignac, which produces, upon their return, a travelling exhibition and the publication of a monograph.

Overview

Since the capture of Kabul by the Taliban in August 2021, the regime has grown stronger, establishing since November 2022 a rigorous application of Sharia law and silencing women, girls, as well as LGBTQIA + minorities. The 14th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award intends to support a project aimed at documenting in writing and images the condition of the lives of women and girls in Afghanistan.

Practical Info

The jury will meet in November 2023 to designate the laureate. The report will take place from January to June 2024, and will be the subject of a monograph and an exhibition at the end of 2024. The winning photographer will receive support throughout the duration of their project – from the preparation of the reportage to its final exhibition.
