Photojournalism contest offers investigative grant

Photojournalists worldwide can compete in this contest.

The Carmignac Gestion Foundation is accepting applications for the seventh annual Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award. The foundation awards those who wish to go where others will not, visiting zones that are largely ignored by the mainstream media.

The topic of this year’s competition is Libya’s political, military and humanitarian crisis.

The winner will receive support in the implementation, production and dissemination of an in-depth photo series completed over a period of five months. The foundation promotes the award with an international touring exhibition and by financing a monograph. It also purchases four of the photographs included in the report.

The application deadline is Oct. 11.
