One Question - ONE ANswer

Each year, ONE IMAGE invites photographers to respond to a single question. Not to compete in style or category, but to explore what photography can make visible. From all submissions, a longlist and a shortlist are established.

From this process, one image is selected as the most necessary response to the annual question.

This image is not awarded for aesthetic excellence, but set as a work whose existence is affirmed. The ONE IMAGE and the shortlisted works are presented in Sauveterre-de-Béarn.

The selected ONE IMAGE becomes ONE WORK.

ONE WORK is the process through which a selected image is established, materialised, documented, and sustained as a singular work.

The work:

  • is publicly presented in Sauveterre-de-Béarn

  • is accompanied by a written jury statement

  • is maintained within the ONE WORK program
