Winners of FNAC Grants for
original photography

PARIS. The FNAC has launched a series of grants to help support original photography and the first three will be for individual photojourna lists – photojournalisme d’auteur.
With photojournalism going through particularly difficult times, the FNAC wishes to support photographers and has established three grants (8000 euros each) to help fund a project, either under way or yet to be started.
The initiative was launched in September last year at the festival of photojournalism, Visa Pour l’Image-Perpignan. The FNAC invited a jury of some fifteen international picture editors to submit names of photographers to be proposed as contenders for the grants, doing so by December 2010.
From a total of 46 submissions received, the first three grant winners were chosen in late January. Each of the three projects will be presented at the next Visa Pour l’Image-Perpignan international festival of photojournalism (August 27 to September 11, 2011), either as an exhibition or featured in an evening screening program, and will later be toured as an exhibit in FNAC photo galleries, in both Paris and the provinces.
The Grants have been set up as part of ongoing FNAC support for photography. The FNAC is now extending its long standing commitment in the area beyond exhibitions and promotion, encouraging original creative work by helping support the photographers themselves.
