Prix Pictet

Brief

Prix Pictet is the world’s first photography award to focus on the global issue of sustainability and is sponsored by Swiss private bank, Pictet & Cie.
 
Each year the Prix Pictet focuses on a distinct sustainability theme. In 2008 the theme was ‘water’ and for 2009 it was ‘earth’. The 2009 first prize of £60,000 was awarded to Nadav Kander for his series of photographs "Yangtze, The Long River".  At the same time, Ed Kashi was invited to complete the 2009 Commission, to produce a series of photographs that highlight many of the issues threatening Madagascar.  He went to the island, which is a biodiversity "hotspot" with Pictet appointed charity, Azafady.

Each year's theme is announced at the annual photography festival in France, Les Rencontres d’Arles, in July.



TSP managed the PR campaign for Prix Pictet 2009 and 2010.
