Grand Prix Images Vevey

The international photography competition Grand Prix Images Vevey takes place every odd year. Its main prize is one of the largest European awards in photography, providing crucial assistance for artists to carry out their project.

The jury also hands out other prizes including the Broncolor Prize (light) and Nestlé Prize – a grant that supports creation by summoning together the entertainment appeal of a festival, the economic rationale of a multinational corporation and the artistic endeavors of a laureate.

Initiated in 2016, the Images Vevey Book Award support an editorial project that offers a surprising adequation between the form and the content of a publication. This award is financed by les Amis d’Images.
