CARMIGNAC GESTION PHOTOJOURNALISM AWARD The Carmignac Foundation launched the Carmignac Gestion Photojournalism Award in 2009 with the aim of supporting and promoting investigative photojournalism in areas not in the spotlight yet at the heart of complex geostrategic conflict with global repercussions and where human rights and freedom of speech are often violated. Regions such as Gaza, Pashtunistan, Zimbabwe and Chechnya were the locations selected for the first awards. Iran was chosen for the fifth award. With a prize set at 50,000 Euros, this award aims to fund in-depth photographic report that reflects the complexity of the current situation. The Carmignac Foundation undertakes to support the winner throughout the project by monitoring his/her progress in the field as well as promoting and running a touring exhibition in France, Italy, Germany and the UK and financing a monograph. The Carmignac Foundation also commits to buying four photographs resulting from the winner’s endeavours. In keeping with the values of courage, independence, transparency and sharing held dear by staff at Carmignac Gestion, the Carmignac Foundation is committed to championing the views of involved individuals that are far from the standard blueprint. THE CARMIGNAC FOUNDATION Created in 2000, the Carmignac Foundation has its roots in Carmignac Gestion’s corporate collection, which has been on display in the management company’s premises from the start. Built up over the past twenty-five years with an open mind and no restrictions, this unique compendium of contemporary art reflects the personal favourites of Carmignac Gestion’s founder, Edouard Carmignac, a seasoned fund manager and stockbroker. The Carmignac collection currently boasts nearly 200 works of art from the 20th and 21st centuries, including major ones by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Gerhard Richter. Selected on the basis of how evocative they are, the quality of their composition and how powerful a message they convey, the most recent additions to the collection show a strong emphasis on emerging market countries. The Carmignac Foundation has always been committed to sharing and open to dialogue with the widest possible audience. In keeping with that commitment, the Foundation, headed by Gaïa Donzet, plans to open new premises in the summer of 2015 on the protected island of Porquerolles. Architect Marc Barani and landscape architect Louis Benech will be designing the site in a way that fully respects this stunning natural environment and meets the rigorous building permit requirements. A programme of on-site sculpture commissions by young international artists has been launched in order to integrate contemporary art into an extraordinary setting that can both enhance the viewing experience and help make a new generation of artists better known.
