2011 EDITION

July 4th - September 18th

Highschool Photo Competition

‘Go to the blackboard!’ That’s the subject of the competition organised by the Ministry of Education and the student magazine L’Étudiant.

Participants are free to choose their medium (digital, film, cell phone), their style (poetic, humorous, fantasy) and their category (single photo, series). Open to all high school students in France and abroad, the competition is decided by an Internet vote. At the end of the month, the three photos that have received the most votes in the ‘single image’ and ‘series’ categories will be chosen for the grand final runoff in June 2011. The prize giving ceremony takes place in Arles on Monday 11 July.


Rencontres d’Arles Partners: The Ministry of Education, Youth and Community Associations, L’Étudiant, Scéren-CNDP, Images magazine, Kodak, Éditions Thierry Magnier, La Maison du Geste et de l’Image in Paris.

Prizes: Kodak cameras and video cameras, a photo workshop in Arles, photonovels (Thierry Magnier publishers), subscriptions to Images magazine, a training session at the Maison du Geste et de l’Image in Paris, and more. For further information, consult the L’Etudiant website.
