PARIS GOOD FASHION x EYES ON TALENTS

CALL FOR COMPETITION

In Partnership with PRINTEMPS

Paris Good Fashion and Eyes on Talents are proud to announce the 2025 Grand Prix Photography & Sustainability, an event that honours the transformative power of visual storytelling to drive sustainable change.
Now in its 4 edition, this competition invites visionary photographers and visual artists from around the world to break boundaries and reimagine a more sustainable future.
This award isn’t just about photography, it’s about igniting a worldwide dialogue on sustainability. Selected winners will have their work exhibited at the legendary 7ème Ciel, an entire floor dedicated to circularity in the PRINTEMPS Haussmann building, one of Paris’s most iconic cultural landmarks.
Debuting this summer, the exhibition will place your work at the epicenter of a dynamic international conversation.

Rewarding aesthetic quality and creative work, this initiative aims to make society more sensitive to environmental issues caused by the fashion industry, as part of Paris Good Fashion’s movement to make Paris the capital of a more sustainable and conscious fashion industry.

Projects must be artistically outstanding and present a narrative related to the theme of consumption, sustainable practices or lack thereof.

Call to action:

  • Who: Creative trailblazers aged 18 and over from every corner of the globe
  • Theme: Explore sustainability through innovative narratives, whether highlighting responsible consumption or confronting the impact of unsustainable practices
  • Cost: Free to enter. This is your opportunity to shine without barriers

THE WINNER(S) WILL RECEIVE

The winning series will be exhibited on the 7ème Ciel of the Printemps Haussmann building. Aptly, the 7ème Ciel is Paris’ largest space dedicated to circular fashion. With panoramic views of the city and flooded with natural light this site attracts large crowds of visitors each year and is the perfect place for an exceptional show of sustainable art. The production of the exhibition will be supported by Paris Good Fashion and Eyes on Talents.

The winner(s) will also receive dedicated communication across social media channels offered by Eyes on Talents and Paris Good Fashion to spread news of their work and the exhibition.

A powerhouse jury of industry icons, celebrated artists, visionary and sustainability advocates, will rigorously assess entries based on artistic excellence and the strength of the narrative around sustainability.
