La VILLA PÉROCHON – CACP, the SWISS LIFE FOUNDATION and ADAGP are committed to supporting contemporary photographic creation by creating the Prix Photographie & Sciences, with media partners Fisheye and Sciences et Avenir – La Recherche. This annual prize is open to all professional photographers on the French scene (French creators or artists working and/or living in France, whatever their nationality) developing an auteur photography. An endowment of 6,000 euros will support the winning photographer in finalizing a photographic series in progress, combining photography (in all its forms) and the sciences (all disciplines), in France and/or abroad. Remuneration for the winning photographer is included in the prize money. Following the first exhibition at the Villa Pérochon in autumn 2026, the Villa Pérochon will do everything in its power, in collaboration with the prizewinner, to facilitate the circulation of the existing exhibition within cultural structures, including those of the
Diagonal network, a national network bringing together structures for the production and dissemination of contemporary photography in France (the cost of transporting the works to and from the exhibition and the prizewinner’s remuneration will be covered by the host structure). The winner will also benefit from dedicated communication with media partners. The presentation of the complete series will also be the subject of a round-table discussion with screening at ADAGP in Paris (the winner must attend).
