    THE 2023 RENCONTRES D’ARLES BOOK AWARDS

     

    The Rencontres d’Arles Book Awards were created to support the publishing of photography books, a swiftly growing domain, and to help these publications reach a broader public. There are three categories of awards: Authors’ Books, Historical Books, and Photo-Text Books. Each award comes with a €6,000 prize and singles out the best photography book in its category published between June 1, 2022 and May 26, 2023. A pre-jury and a jury of photography experts choose the shortlisted works and the winners. Each book submitted is deposited in the library of the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles. The shortlist is presented to the public in a dedicated space throughout the festival, and the winners are announced during opening week.
