Posted on by

Deadline: 31 July 2025. 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.

The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès is the patron of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Creation Award.

Prizes:

The winner is chosen by an international jury of seven art professionals.

The €35,000 endowment is intended to help the winner complete his or her project. In addition, he/she will be given support in developing his/her project and curating the exhibition.

The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson covers the production and publishing costs.
