Picto Foundation supports Didier de Faÿs and photographie.com in the implementation and development of the Bourse du Talent, in the continuity of Picto’s involvement since its creation.

The Bourse du Talent is a distinction in photography. Since 1998, it has rewarded the talent of young photographers at the beginning of their careers. It relies on a network of photography professionals, experts in several significant fields: the press, galleries, exhibition curatorship and publishing. They comprise the juries, in which a professional photographer is systematically involved. They contribute to the legitimacy and strong reputation of the Bourse du Talent, whose expertise marks and shapes the photographers’ careers.

The Bourse du Talent offers an interpretation and a selection 4 times a year, in 4 categories: reportage, portrait, fashion and landscape. An exhibition at the BnF in Paris, accompanied by a book published by Robert Delpire, presents the work of the four selected photographers and the year’s favourites. Based on the principle that creation cannot be separated from history and heritage, the Bourse du Talent offers photographers, thanks to the BnF, an opportunity to join the institution’s collections.

Alongside Picto Foundation and photographie.com, many loyal partners support the programme each year: Lumière Ilford, Louis Rœderer Foundation, PixTrack, La Maison de l’Image, Éditions Robert Delpire and the Bnf in particular.
