Since 1996, the Voies Off festival has been advocating for the role of photography in contemporary art and other various creative practices, providing them with an international stage during the Rencontres d’Arles.
As an alternative to the program of the Rencontres, Voies Off  invites a general audience to discover the photographic works by young authors. All events are free except for portfolio reviews (6 € / day).

2009, our panel of jurors selected over 60 artists from all horizons among 950 candidates. They will compete for the 2009 Voies Off Prize.

Their works will be shown during night projections every night under the starry sky of the courtyard of the Archbishop’s Palace. These night showings are in fact the heart of the Voies Off festival. Other events include daily portfolio reviews, professional “mornings,” and several thematic exhibitions.

A friendly and warm party atmosphere mixing sounds and images provides an original venue to enjoy many aspects of contemporary photography until the end of the night.

Be part of the photographic alternative
and participate in the 2010 Voies Off prize.
