The City of Levallois - Epson Photography Award is now calling for entries for its 2011 edition

The annual prize rewards the work of a photographer, regardless of nationality, aged 35 or under. "Photographers must present their own new work, which has not been previously published or exhibited," say the organisers. "The selection panel will pay particular attention to the consistency of the artistic approach in its form and content."

The winner receives a €10,000 cash prize, as well as a monographic exhibition at the Photo Levallois festival in France.
Last year, the award went to Virginie Terrase for her work Palestine how?, which addresses the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and explores the territorial issue at its heart.
To enter the competition, photographers must send a selection of at least 15 photographs with a supporting letter of 1000 words and a resume. For more information on how to enter, visit www.photo-levallois.org.
