About

Launched in 2017, the Paris Photo Students Prize supports undergraduate and graduate students from European schools of photography and visual arts.

Co-founded by Paris Photo, Picto Foundation and SNCF Gares & Connexions, the program aims to support emerging talent and facilitate access to the professional art world.

Each year, a jury of art professionals selects 40 students from over 600 applications submitted by nearly 200 European schools. Four laureates are then chosen.

The laureates’ projects are presented at Paris Photo in a dedicated space, as well as in an exhibition held in a major Paris train station. The 40 selected students benefit from a dedicated support program.

Additional distinctions are awarded by the partners, including a residency with FUTURES and a grant awarded by La Saif. The program offers strong visibility among art professionals and fosters connections within the photography community.

The Paris Photo Student Prize is also supported by Hahnemühle and La Copie Privée.
