The fourth edition of the Viviane Esders Prize has launched!
The Prix Viviane Esders is awarded to a professional, independent, European photographer over the age of 60 who is still active, and demonstrates a personal style and artistic approach.
Driven by the idea of discovering or rediscovering a lifetime of work, the prize stands out for the generous endowment of €60,000 in total and the recognition it brings to remarkable artistic careers who really need financial support to pursue their work.
The Jury, accompanied by Viviane Esders and made up of six personalities from the world of art and culture honor:
- One Laureate with a 50 000€ grant including €10,000 towards the production of a book
