ARLES, FRANCE.-For twelve years now, The Voies Off festival has offered an alternative look on emerging photography with its own specificities, its evolution and its struggles... New this year : all participants must submit their work on a CD-Rom. Voies Off has now three ranges of activities :: Festival / Photo Gallery / Digital Lab.

The evening shows staged by the Rencontres d'Arles Voies off Festival have become a worldwide reference for the discovery of new artists and the follow-up of photographic creation. Through its themes, the festival takes a critical look at the evolution of the present world. Each year, around twenty different nationalities are represented at the Festival Voies Off.

Each year The Voies off Prize, granted by a jury of saluted professionals, is awarded for an artist's high-quality work and insightful vision. A 2000 Euro grant will be awarded to the prizewinner.

Why not take part in the building of the photographic alternative : join in the Voies Off 2008 Prize competition.
