A steadfast supporter of photography
Because creativity and boldness are cornerstones of our corporate culture, we have a long history of supporting photography. We are proud to hold a remarkable collection of works by highly respected photographers including Sebastião Salgado, Georges Rousse and Michael Kenna. More than 50 of these images are always on view at our offices in Paris, New York and London.
A prestigious competition . . .
In 2010, we took our support for photography to the next level with the launch of the Prix Eurazeo competition. Each year, our award recognizes the work of a professional photographer reflecting the chosen theme: “Tell Us a Story.” In addition to receiving a €10,000 cash prize, the winner is offered the opportunity to exhibit his or her works in Paris. Judged by a jury including well-known experts in the field, the Prix Eurazeo covers all styles and types of photography

Eurazeo and photography is a commitment and a passion that has been growing for almost 20 years: thanks to the acquisition of original works, the creation of the Eurazeo Prize 13 years ago and the establishment of partnerships.
And a partnership with the iconic Rencontres d’Arles festival
Unwavering in its support for emerging artistic talent and its commitment to young people, education and equal opportunity, Eurazeo has been a sponsor since 2021 of the outreach program “Une Année en Images” conducted by the Rencontres d’Arles festival in the south of France. This program aims to raise awareness among students at 10 middle and high schools in the Nice and Aix-Marseille educational districts of photography as an art form and of photographic practice in line with the themes explored during the festival.
Two grants . . .
In 2019, Eurazeo decided to go even further by forming a partnership with the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie (ENSP) in Arles, a world-renowned photography school. As part of this partnership, the “Eurazeo pour la Jeune Création Photographique” program now selects two recent ENSP graduates each year to be recipients of a €5,000 grant. These grants help them bring their ambitious and innovative projects to fruition, which might never have been possible without Eurazeo’s financial assistance. Like the Prix Eurazeo winner, the two grant recipients are given the opportunity to exhibit their works in Paris. For this 2022 edition, Clémence Elman and Tal Yaron have been chosen to receive support from Eurazeo.
