CODE OF ETHICS – CARMIGNAC PHOTOJOURNALISM AWARD

FONDATION CARMIGNAC

The Carmignac Photojournalism Award was created in 2009 by the Fondation Carmignac. In each edition, photographers from all over the world are invited to respond to a chosen theme, for the creation of a long-form work of photo-reportage.

The Fondation Carmignac chooses a region of the world where turbulences have had repercussions for the planet, or forgotten parts of the world, thereby underlining through this choice to highlight what is unique about the work of photography.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE PRE-SELECTION COMMITTEE AND THE JURY

The pre-selection committee and the jury are independent from the Fondation Carmignac: they are made up of figures from the world of photography, journalists, experts on the chosen region, and directors or curators of museums or international institutions.

The pre-selection committee and the jury are autonomous in their decisions, which are made by majority vote after deliberations have taken place. Their decisions are final.

The pre-selection by the committee and the selection by the jury are carried out according to objective criteria, in particular relevance and originality.

In order to guarantee the impartiality of the selection of the Winner, no member of the jury will be a Carmignac member of staff.

THE GENERAL COMMISSIONER

The President of the jury is named General Commissioner. In the event that the President of the Jury is unable to ensure the general commission of the exhibition, he or she will be able to name a person of his or her choice to fulfil that function.

The General Commissioner’s principal task is to guarantee the artistic freedom of the Winner during the realisation of his or her reportage, as well as ensuring a coherence between the project that has received the endowment and the final project.
