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
