Founded by the Pictet Group in 2008, the Prix Pictet has
rapidly established itself as the world’s leading prize in photography
and sustainability. The award aims to uncover outstanding photography
applied to confront the most pressing social and environmental
challenges of today.
The Prix Pictet has two elements: the prize of CHF 100,000 awarded to the photographer who, in the opinion of the independent jury, has produced a series of work that speaks most powerfully to the theme of the award; and the Commission, awarded by the Partners of the Pictet Group, in which a nominated photographer is invited to undertake a field trip to a region where Pictet is supporting a sustainability project.
