Photojournalists worldwide can participate in this contest.

The Carmignac Gestion Foundation is accepting applications for the fourth annual Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award. The foundation awards those who wish to go where others will not, visiting zones that are largely ignored by the mainstream media. The topic of this year’s competition is Iran.

Every year, a EUR€50,000 (US$66,170) grant is awarded to fund a photo series completed over a period of several months on a specific, topical subject. The foundation promotes the award via an exhibition and the publication of a monograph. It also purchases four of the photographs included in the report.

The application deadline is Sept. 30.
