Carte Blanche Students


A Prize for Young Creation


Paris Photo, Picto Foundation, and SNCF Gares & Connexions are partnering for the 8th year to develop a platform for discovery, visibility, exchange, and meetings aimed at young talents. Launched in 2017, the Carte Blanche Students program is designed for bachelor’s and master’s students from European photography and visual arts schools, aiming to foster emerging talent and encourage creativity and energy.

The projects of the four selected students, chosen from over 100 European schools, will be showcased at the Paris Photo fair from November 7 to 10, 2024, in a dedicated space where they will engage with the public. Additionally, an exhibition will be held at the forecourt of Paris Gare de Lyon from October 28 to November 30, 2024.

This project is supported by Hahnemühle, La Saïf, and La Copie Privée.
