May 2026 Established in 1989, Visa pour l'Image is an annual international photojournalism festival that takes place over 15 days in the Southern-French city of Perpignan, France, from late August to mid-September. As the only event in the world dedicated exclusively to photojournalism, Visa pour l'Image has shared diverse perspectives on global current affairs since its conception. Over the past 20 years, Fotoware has been a proud sponsor of the festival helping Visa pour l'Image securely store and organize the photos and videos used for the event, and enabling organizers to share and collaborate with stakeholders. We caught up with [Jean-François Leroy](https://www.magnumphotos.com/theory-and-practice/jean-francois-leroy/), a founder of Visa pour l'image, to hear more about the festival’s vision and how Fotoware helps carry it out. ![Gallery](https://www.fotoware.com/hubfs/galley-stories.jpg) Photo by Visa pour l'Image ## What is the mission behind Visa pour l'Image? Visa pour l'Image is a hub for established and aspiring photographers alike, agency representatives, and photo editors. Each year, a selection of the best stories from around the world are shown through exhibitions across the city. For those who cannot attend in person, most exhibitions are also available online via the Visa pour l’Image website. ## What does the Visa pour l'Image festival consist of? In addition to facilitating photographer meetings, round tables, and conferences, Visa pour l’Image offers screenings on the year’s major stories - from war, crises and politics, to unusual and remarkable events, sports news, culture, science, the environment, and more. Each year, the festival’s jury hands out several awards, including the [Visa d’Or News Award](https://www.visapourlimage.com/en/festival/awards-and-grants/visa-d-or-news-5f535cd55d1cd), the [Visa D’Or Feature Award](https://www.visapourlimage.com/en/festival/awards-and-grants/visa-d-or-magazine-5f535c9d5f391), and the [Visa d’Or Daily Press Award](https://www.visapourlimage.com/en/festival/awards-and-grants/visa-d-or-de-la-presse-quotidienne-5f535b6708ab4). > — "I’m glad that people in Ukraine, Libya, Yemen, Iraq, and Syria are telling me their stories, and I’m glad to see their work because, without them, I wouldn’t know anything about the world. We want to know what happens in our world." - > > Jean-François Leroy, founder of Visa pour l'image ![photojournalism-festival](https://www.fotoware.com/hubfs/photojournalism-festival.jpg) Photo by Visa pour l'Image ## How does Fotoware help Visa pour l’Image carry out its mission? By helping Visa pour l’Image store, manage and share thousands of pictures taken by reporters around the world, Fotoware is actively supporting the fundamental mission of photojournalism.

With advanced metadata, images are organized in relevant archives based on our preferences, such as topics, photographers, time, and location. Those images are then consulted by external users, including press services, the festival jury, and participants. Fotoware also has a dedicated platform for schools that visit the exhibitions after the public festival period has ended. For each type of user, specific usage and access rights have been pre-defined. ![img-blog-Visa pour lImage\_4](https://www.fotoware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/img-blog-Visa%20pour%20lImage_4.png?quality=high&width=449&height=310&name=img-blog-Visa%20pour%20lImage_4.png) ![img-blog-Visa pour lImage\_5](https://www.fotoware.com/hs-fs/hubfs/img-blog-Visa%20pour%20lImage_5.png?quality=high&width=452&height=333&name=img-blog-Visa%20pour%20lImage_5.png) ## Want to learn more?
