For the last 20 years, the Prix HSBC pour la Photographie supports every other year two talented professional photographers still little known , to help them promote and develop their work. These talents are selected through a contest, open from September to the end of October.
The Contest is aimed at Photographers whom :
– are contemporary and living, regardless of their age or nationality;
– work on representations of reality (no theme, approach or method of treatment imposed);
– have never published a Monograph (with ISBN Number)
– The Laureate must be able to provide between a minimum of 70 photographs for the creation of the Monograph.
