For the 57th edition of the festival, Les Rencontres d’Arles and the LUMA Foundation are once again organizing the LUMA Rencontres Dummy Book Award, a prize to help publish a book dummy. Initiated in 2015 and endowed with a production budget of €25,000, this award is open to professional photographers and artists using photography, upon proposal of a book dummy that has never been published. Special attention will be paid to experimental and innovative editorial forms. The deadline for applications is May 13, 2026. Les Rencontres de la photographie and the LUMA Foundation will form a jury to select the shortlisted dummies and the winning one. This set will be exhibited as part of the official programme of the 2026 festival.
