FREE ENTRY / Henri Cartier-Bresson - Creation Award

The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson is a state-approved non-profit institution dedicated to the preservation and transmission of the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Martine Franck. True to the wishes of its two founders, the Fondation also exhibits the work of other artists. For the past twenty years, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson has been presenting a unique exhibition program, showcasing an exceptional range of photographic works.

Awarded every two years, the Henri Cartier-Bresson Creation Award (formerly known as HCB Award) supports a photographer in the realization or pursuit of an ambitious project. The Henri Cartier-Bresson Creation Award is aimed at established photographers, who already have a strong documentary-inspired body of work.

The recipient of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Creation Award receives an allocation of 35,000 euros, to be used for both an exhibition at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson and a publication.
