I always have considered photography as a language...probably the most eloquent language ever devised. Like all languages, it has its grammar and vocabulary. I don't mean just technical terms and rules, but an entire creative world of message, meaning and expression,which is the content of an image. As we choose words for a sentence, we choose elements for an image. The aim is similar: to express oneself well and fulfil creative needs. This is the most important part of image-making, the rest is just a matter of pressing
a button." Eric

This year’s theme is « Métiers du Monde » (Jobs of the world) The idea is to show men and women engaged in the extraordinary diversity of jobs around the world, in the beauty, as well as in the harshness, of their daily occupations. This photo documentary is also an opportunity to discover unique jobs related to traditions and take a look at how they have evolved.
As in the case of the previous two editions, the winner will be invited to Paris for a week (with travel and accommodation expenses covered by the Alliance Française Foundation), and there will be a special exhibition of his/her photo in a Parisian gallery. The 40 international photos selected by the jury of the Foundation will be on display in a group exhibition in Paris and that collection of photos will also be available to the various branches of the Alliances Française for display.
