In 2009, Fondation Carmignac established the Carmignac Photojournalism Award.

In each edition, photographers from all over the world are invited to respond to a chosen theme, for the creation of a long-form work of photo-reportage. The Fondation Carmignac chooses a region of the world where turbulences have had repercussions for the planet, or forgotten parts of the world, thereby underlining through this choice to highlight what is unique about the work of photography.
