Created in 2018 by Christian Dior Parfums, in partnership with LUMA Arles and the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie (ENSP), the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents is an international competition for students and recent graduates of leading art and photography schools.

Candidates were invited to respond to the theme of “Face-to-Face,” and the exhibition presents the works of the thirteen artists selected by the jury, which is chaired by French-born photographer Brigitte Lacombe, and composed of Marina Hoffmann, Julie Jones (Curator at the photography department of the Musée national d’art moderne- Centre Pompidou), Laurent Montaron (French multidisciplinary artist), as well as Simon Baker (Director of the Maison européenne de la photographie) and Peter Philips (Creative and Image Director of Dior Makeup).
