Take part in the 2024 edition of the UPP Award!

Because it's essential to defend creativity and diversity of vision, the UPP is organizing a free, open-themed competition to support two professional photographers in the conception and realization of a photographic project.

There will be two prizes: one for a UPP member photographer, worth €4000, and another for a non-member photographer, worth €2000.

The grants are open to professional photographers of legal age and resident in France. The purpose of these grants is to help the winners finalize their subject and present it at a joint exhibition to be held at the Maison des photographes, UPP headquarters.

We are fortunate to have assembled an exceptional jury for this competition:

• Philippe Bachelier, photojournalist and referent of the UPP photojournalist commission,
• Florine Garcin, Communications Manager, SAIF,
• Marie Valat, Photographer's agent, Marie Valat agency,
• Salomé d'Ornano, Gallery Manager, Écho 119,
• Thomas Consani, Picto, photographer,
• Alain Escourbiac, Managing Director Escourbiac l'imprimeur,
• Emmanuel Halkin, Independent Curator and Art Director, Diaphane.
