Visa pour l’Image is being held this year on August 31st – September 6th.

This festival is a unique event where you can join thousands of related spirits who share a love and passion for photography. You can see the greatest international photojournalist work exhibited all around the city of Perpigan.

During the professional week from August 31 to September 6th, 2014 in Perpignan, thousands of professional photojournalists are offered an opportunity to meet with their peers, talk about their work or their profession.

You don’t want to miss the most prestigious photographers from all around the world, do so by checking the updated lists Visa pour l’Image publish during the festival, they will keep you up to date of who is in town.

This event founded in 1989 has also a big variety of evening screenings during the week. Different awards are going to be granted during the festival such as the Visa d’or awards and the City of Perpignan RĂ©mi Ochlik award.
