Launched in 2008, the Levallois Prize upholds its commitment to support contemporary photography. Open to all forms of photographic expressions, the international Prize welcomes submissions from young photographers aged under 35. The winner of the Prize will receive a grant of 10,000 Euros and have a two-month long exhibition at the Galerie de L’Escale in Levallois (to be held in October-November 2015).
Whether in narrative, esthetic, technical or formal terms, the Levallois Prize wishes to highlight young photographers’ creative research through its selection. The new team, in close collaboration with the City of Levallois, impulses new momentum to the 2015 edition, featuring new actions intended to broaden its national and international scope; involve the public more inclusively with contemporary photography; and provide professional guidance to the laureate.
An Audience Award has been introduced this year to allow active involvement of the public too often excluded from this kind of event. Relayed by social media and our partners, the vote is open to all and organized trough the digital platform out of the selection of the fifteen shortlisted candidates. The Audience Award will be exhibited with the Levallois Prize laureate and the Special Mention at the Galerie de l’Escale in Levallois in the fall.
