Initiated by le Cabinet, espace de production photographique in 2015, and taken on now by L’imprimerie, the prize is presented in collaboration with Occurence espace d’art et d’essai contemporains, and Ciel Variable magazine. It is given in order to recognize, encourage, and accompany a local talent by offering meaningful assistance in the launching of a young artistic career. This year’s winner will benefit from an 8-week residency at L’imprimerie and the support of an artist-mentor there, as well as a production grant, a solo exhibit at Occurence, an artist’s honorarium, and a one-year subscription to Ciel Variable. This second edition of the award is made possible by the financial assistance of the Conseil des Arts de Montréal.

Honorable mention to Catherine Aboumrad

The jury of the Montreal Emerging Photography Award would like also to extend an honorable mention to Catherine Aboumrad, for the originality of her submission, and offer her a year-long membership at L’imprimerie and a month-long residency that includes technical support.

L’imprimerie wishes to congratulate this year’s winners and to extend its heartfelt thanks to the members of its jury, namely, Raymonde April, Christine Desrochers, Lili Michaud, Jacinthe Robilard, and Éric Bolduc.
