The association "Camille Lepage – On est ensemble" (Camille Lepage – We are together) was created on September 20, 2014, a few months after the death of photojournalist Camille Lepage in the Central African Republic while she was working on a report.

The association was set up by her family (her parents Maryvonne & Guy Lepage and brother Adrien) to commemorate Camille, her work and commitment, to provide assistance and protection for photojournalists working in conflict areas, to support communities that are victims of such conflicts, and, while doing so, to promote values that were so important to Camille.

CDP Éditions – Collection des photographes kindly published a book of Camille Lepage's latest work in the Central African Republic, République centrafricaine : On est ensemble. All proceeds from the sale of this book were donated by CDP Éditions to the association "Camille Lepage – On est ensemble."

For the tenth year running, the Société des Auteurs des Arts Visuels et de l’Image Fixe (SAIF) is funding the €8,000 prize to encourage the work of a photojournalist committed to long-term projects.
