The Caritas Social Photo Award supports a photographer each year by awarding a €4,000 grant, producing an exhibition that will tour and publishing a book about the photographer. The two other finalist photographers are also highlighted. The winner is selected by a jury of leading figures recognised for their expertise in the field of photography or on issues of poverty and exclusion.

Picto Foundation is a partner of the Prize along with Galerie Le Château d’Eau in Toulouse, La Saif, POLKA magazine and Filigranes Éditions.
