For the 26th year in a row, Canon and Visa pour l\u2019Image will award an \u20ac8,000 grant to a female photojournalist pursuing a long-term documentary project. The grant is designed to either support the completion of an existing project or facilitate the making of a new one. Entries will be judged by a jury of renowned industry experts. In 2025, French photojournalist Marion P\u00e9h\u00e9e was awarded for her long-term project documenting young adults in Ukraine. Former grantees (https:\/\/apo-opa.co\/41JgwcU) include Anastasia Taylor-Lind, Natalya Saprunova and Acacia Johnson.<\/p>\n
