Grand Prix Images Vevey
About
The Grand Prix Images Vevey is one of the most prestigious and long-standing photography awards in Europe. Open to artists and photographers around the world, the grant aims to support original creation and is awarded every two years. This CHF 40,000 prize enables one artist to develop a new photography project over the course of a year and present it at the following Biennale Images Vevey. This is also when the Images Vevey Book Award is presented, alongside various other grants representing a total of over CHF 70,000 of financial support for creative projects.
