The Fondation HCB is glad to announce the guest members of the jury who will designate the laureate of the HCB Award 2023.
The name of the laureate will be announced at the end of June, after the deliberations of the jury. In Spring 2025, the project of the winner, realised thanks to the 35 000 euros grant, will be exhibited at the Fondation HCB in Paris and a book will be published. Presented by the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, the HCB Award supports the creation of an ambitious photography project which could not be achieved without this help. It is intended for a photographer who was already completed a significant body of work, close to the documentary approach.
The Fondation d’entreprise Hermès is the patron of the HCB Award.
