Canon Female Photojournalist Award

Presented by the French Association of Female Journalists (AFJ - Association des Femmes Journalistes) in partnership with Le Figaro Magazine.

For the twelfth consecutive year, Canon France and the AFJ will present the Canon Female Photojournalist Award. Entrants are judged on both previous work and plans for a future project. The 2012 award winner, Sarah Caron, will receive the prize (€8000) during the final evening show for 2012, on Saturday, September 8, for her project on Pashtun women in Pakistan.

An exhibition by the 2011 winner, Ilvy Njiokiktjien, presents her report on Afrikaner teenagers in post-Apartheid South Africa as part of the official program.
