Paris Photo announced this morning, in Paris, the news of its next edition, as well as the winners of the Carte Blanche – Étudiants award, a prize for young talent from European schools, awarded by the organization of this international exhibition in partnership with Picto Foundation and SNCF, a railway company in France.
In addition to the Portuguese artist, three other projects – all from the United Kingdom – were also distinguished, among applications from over 200 European photography schools.
The winners of this award will see their work displayed on giant screens at Gare du Nord, one of the largest Parisian train stations, from October 10 to November 20, and in a dedicated space during Paris Photo, which will be held at the Grand Palais.
