You only have a few days left to participate in the 2014 Canon Female Photojournalist Award. The 8,000€ prize will go towards helping a female photojournalist complete a work of reportage. The contest is open to all professional female photojournalists, regardless of age or nationality. The deadline is set for May 26th, 2014.
The venture of the award began in 2001 as an initiative by the French Association of Female Journalists (Association des Femmes Journalistes – AFJ) and specifically by three women, members of the AFJ: Isabelle Fougère, Brigitte Huard and Lizzie Sadin. This year the AFJ has stepped down from its role as organizer of the award but Canon and Images Evidence will continue to support this fine venture. For the first time, the award is supported by Elle Magazine. This Award, is handed out every year during the International Photojournalism Festival Visa pour l’Image – Perpignan (France). It is granted by Canon and supports with 8 000 euros a woman photographer with a photojournalistic project. It is opened to professional women photojournalists of any age and nationality. The winner will be selected in June by a jury made up of photography and press professionals. Applicants will be judged both upon the presentation of their project and their previous work. Among the selection criteria are the quality of the photographs, as well as the journalistic thoughts and relevance of the chosen subject. The Award will be handed to the winner in Perpignan on September 2014, during one of the showing nights of the Visa pour l’Image – Perpignan Festival. The winner will produce an ongoing one year project which will lead to an exhibition or screen show at the Festival in the 2015 edition.
