Eurazeo boasts a prestigious collection of works by world-renowned photographers such as Sebastião Salgado, Georges Rousse, Nick Brandt, Mickael Kenna, etc., to which are added each year works by the winners of the annual Prize. Nearly 100 photographs make up the Eurazeo collection and adorn the walls of our offices in Paris, London and New York.
A recognized annual Award
In 2010, our support for creative photography took a new step forward with the creation of the Eurazeo Prize. Each year, the prize is awarded to a professional photographer based on a theme: "Racontez-nous des Histoires" ("Tell us stories"). In addition to a cash prize of 10,000 euros, the winner's work is exhibited in Paris. Run by a jury of renowned professionals, the Eurazeo. Prize covers all fields of photography and is open to photographers of all styles.
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.

Winner 2023
Charles Delcourt is the winner of the 14th Prix Photo with his series Isle of Eigg. His images, placed end to end, tell the simple, human story of a small society that sails against the tide of current trends.
Trained as a landscape architect, Charles Delcourt was awarded the Prix de la bourse Albert-Kahn and the Soutien à la Création du CNAP in 2021. He regularly publishes in Le Monde, GEO, Courrier International, Le Parisien Magazine and ELLE.
"This series focuses on a small society and attempts to capture the atmosphere of the place through its inhabitants. It's a multi-faceted portrait of a friendly community that's evolving in a way that goes against the grain of the 'classic' future of many of these isolated places."

Special Jury Prize 2023
Exceptionally, our Jury has decided to award a "Special Prize" to Julie Bourges and her Eaux-Fortes series, which tells the touching story of one of France's few female fishermen, Camille, as she confronts the elements.
Julie Bourges works in worlds that oscillate between abstraction and dreamlike imagery. In recent years, she has focused on the sea, an element that concentrates emotions and fantasies, and confronts us with the otherworldly.

And a partnership with the iconic Rencontres d’Arles festival
Since 2022, Eurazeo has joined the club of supporters of Rencontres d'Arles. We co-constructed and financed "Une Année en Images", an inclusive project that aims to bring art into the homes of middle and high school students who are often far removed from culture, museums and exhibitions. The originality of the program lies in the fact that it goes to them with one objective in mind: to shape their minds and their critical outlook on the world, and provide them with the keys to analyzing and understanding the world around them. “Une Année en Images” develops their ability to analyze a work of art, awakening their critical sense, sensitivity, creativity and artistic tastes.
