Planches Contact Festival

Planches Contact Festival is launching its call for applications for the 2026 Young Photographic Creation Prize, open to photographers under 35 years of age. This prize aims to support and nurture emerging talent, encouraging the production of new works and artistic experimentation.

The winners will receive a grant of €6,000, divided equally between artistic remuneration (€3,000) and exhibition production (€3,000). They will also be invited to an artist residency in Deauville, between February and June 2026, immersing themselves in the Normandy region alongside the other artists invited to the festival. The resulting works will be exhibited as part of the Planches Contact Festival, which will take place from October 17, 2026, to January 3, 2027.
