Prix pour la Photographie musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac 2024

Each year, the museum finances the creations of three winners, selected based on an original project, consistent with their artistic trajectory.

Overview

Since its launch in 2008, the Prix pour la Photographie du musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac has championed the development of contemporary photographic art by supporting three artists, whose works subsequently become part of the museum's collection. 

The award is aimed at non-European photographic artists, or European citizens resident in overseas countries and territories and the outermost regions. Each laureate will receive a grant of €30,000 nets to complete the submitted project. 

Practical Info 

Submissions should contain a summary of the project, a note of intent describing the project, a biography of the photographer, a digital portfolio illustrating previous works and, whenever possible, visual elements illustrating the proposed project. A selection of printed visuals is appreciated to support the application in the eyes of the jurors during the selection committees. Applications must be submitted by postmail only before March 11th, 2024 (postmarked by the deadline date).
