F0NDATION IRIS

Because it is "necessary to take the time to understand the world and because the image is one of the best vectors to make it discover", the  Iris Foundation  and the magazine  Wilderness  joined forces in 2016 to launch the Young Nature Photographers Grant.

The idea? To hatch talents.

Each year, passionate nature photographers under the age of thirty are invited to submit their report project on a nature theme and send their portfolio. 10 candidates will be nominated: 8 by the Terre Sauvage editorial staff, and 2 thanks to an Audience Award, which will take the form of a photo competition on Facebook. These 10 files will then be submitted to the jury, made up of the editorial staff of Terre Sauvage, members of the Iris Foundation and  Vincent Munier , renowned nature photographer and sponsor of this new edition.

To be won: two grants of € 5,000 to produce your report, which will be published in  Wild Land .

To participate, you must send a complete file including:

• A report already made of 15 photos, with 1000 signs of synopsis to present the subject.

• 10 "Best-of" images that give a glimpse of the variety of your work.

• 1 photo per unit which, according to you, represents all of your work: it will allow you to participate in the Audience Award, via a competition on Facebook: the two photos which will collect the most "likes" will win their authors a place among the 10 nominees, as well as a one-year subscription to  Wild Land .

• A synopsis of 2000 signs on the reporting project for which you are applying for the Iris Terre Sauvage Grant (location, ideal period of production, background elements, synopsis, photos envisaged, etc.).
