The 8 nominees now receive a contribution of 5’000 CHF towards the initial presentation of their project in the nominees’ book, published in January 2015. This book will accompany the nominees’ complete portfolios in the final consideration before the jury of experts. The winner will receive 80’000 CHF to be divided between the completion of the proposed project and the publication of the accompanying book within one year. A curator from the Musée de l’Elysée will advise the winner throughout this process. Both the project and book will be presented at the Nuit des images 2016. The nominees’ and the winner’s books will be printed by one of the Sandoz Family Foundation printing companies.
