Photographers have until September 6th, 2014, to participate in the first ever Grotte Chauvet photo contest. The Grotte Chauvet is a cave that contains the earliest known and best preserved figurative cave paintings in the world.
Organized by the Ministry of Culture and Communication, this contest aims to give the winning photographer the exceptional opportunity to visit the cave to produce a photo report and enable a maximum number of people to witness this priceless, 36,000-year-old treasure featuring more than 450 cave paintings.
The contest is open to all professional photographers regardless of age and nationality. The candidates will be required to create a project that can be shot in the cave itself and prove their capacity to produce an artwork in a fragile, underground environment. The jury will select the photographer based on the quality of their project and originality of their proposal.
