The Camera Clara Photo Prize was created in 2012 by Josephine de Bodinat Moreno, President of the Fondation Grésigny, which was founded in 2009 to fund charitable projects of a social, cultural or environmental nature. The call for applications of this 3rd edition runs through July 15, 2014, and will be awarded to a work of photography.

The three series are currently on display at Central Dupon Images in Paris through April 5, 2014. The first edition of the prize was awarded to two photographers, Yveline Loiseur and Virgile Ittah, with the three finalists Léonora Hamille, Thibaut Cuisset and Frédéric Delangle.
