Since 2015, the Rencontres d’Arles has offered an award supporting the publication of a dummy book. This prize, with a production budget of €25,000, is open to any new photographer or artist using photography, submitting a previously unpublished dummy book. Special attention is paid to experimental and innovative publication forms. The recipients of
the award were Moe Suzuki for Sokohi in 2021, Yto Barrada and Bettina Grossman for Bettina in 2020 (the work is exhibited this year as part of the festival), Chow & Lin for The Poverty Line in 2019. The 2022 winner is announced during the opening week.
