Paris Photo has named the four winners of the 10th edition of its Students Prize, chosen by a professional jury from 600 applications submitted by photography students across Europe. The winners are Camille Cellier of the Ostkreuzschule fur Fotografie in Germany, Jonas Glanz of Hochschule Bielefeld in Germany, Jinyong Lian of the Beaux-Arts de Paris in France, and Mirjam Reiter of the University of Applied Arts in Austria.

The prize is organised by Paris Photo with the Picto Foundation and SNCF Gares & Connexions, and is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students at European schools of photography and visual arts. Co-founded in 2017, the programme supports a new generation of photographers as they move from education into professional practice, with mentorship and visibility through the fair.

The four winners will have their work exhibited at the Gare de Lyon in Paris and will present their portfolios at Paris Photo itself, which runs from 12 to 15 November 2026 at the Grand Palais. One of the four will also receive the Saif Carte Blanche Student Grant to develop a new project, funded with support from the Saif, La Copie Privee and the FUTURES photography platform.

The jury for the 2026 edition brought together gallery directors, festival organisers and the fair's own artistic leadership, including Anna Planas, Paris Photo's artistic director, and representatives of the Picto Foundation and SNCF's cultural affairs team. The prize is one of several programmes at this year's fair aimed at emerging talent, as Paris Photo marks the bicentenary of photography.
