Françoise Demulder Photography Grants
Since 2020, the French Ministry of Culture and the Festival Visa pour l’Image – Perpignan will be presenting two production Grants for Female Photojournalists in recognition of their contribution to photojournalism. Each grant is 8,000 euros.
These grants, dedicated to women photojournalists, pay tribute to Françoise Demulder – a French war photographer and the first woman to win the World Press Photo, in 1977.
The 2024 Françoise Demulder Photography Grant recipients are Sandra Calligaro who will continue her work in Afghanistan, three years after the return of the Taliban; and Catalina Martin-Chico to pursue the work initiated eight years ago on women fighting with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), showing their role as fighters, their resilience, and their life with their families during peacetime, a fragile peace.
