Niépce Prize

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Niépce Prize has been awarded annually since 1955 to a professional photographer who has lived and worked in France for over 3 years and is younger than 50 years (previously 45 years) of age. It was introduced in honour of Joseph Nicéphore Niépce by Albert Plécy and Paul Almásy for the l'Association Gens d'Images.

History

[edit]

The Prix Niépce Gens d'images "rewards each year the work of a professional photographer residing in France for more than three years, and aged under 50 at most on January 1 of the year for which he competes. It is supported by the Ministry of Culture and by the National Library of France, a historical institutional partner which hosts the deliberations and the proclamation of the prize.

From 2011 to 2015, it is financially endowed by the film company MK2, directed by Marin Karmitz. Since 2016, it is endowed by the Picto Foundation, the endowment fund of the Picto laboratories which rewards the winner, designs and produces with The Eyes Publishing an artist's book. Since 2019, it has also benefited from the patronage of ADAGP, Society of authors in the graphic and plastic arts.[1]
