Initiated, designed and organised by the Eyes Wide Open association (cultural production entity of The Eyes label) with the support of the Ministry of Culture and SAIF, the First Photo Book Grant programme is intended for photographers who wish to propose a first book project with the support of an independent French publisher.

The First Photo Book Grant program aims to provide support to photographers' first books and their publishers to help them bring their projects to fruition. This support program is divided into three categories, each awarding a grant of €5,000
