“By participating in the Christian Dior competition it was for a great experience and a great opportunity, with the accompaniment of MPW and the support of the PICHA workshop (in the biennial of Lubumbashi) I won the prize and it was extraordinary.

a new world opened up to me from an artistic point of view and also on my artistic approach.”

For this competition, Dior is giving carte blanche to young international artists having studied at the world’s most prestigious photography schools.

The work of the Laureates, including the winner and any Jury Mentions will be featured in an exhibition produced by Dior with the support of the ENSP, curated and hosted by Luma Arles.
