The Pierre & Alexandra Boulat Grant supports a photographer who wishes to cover a social, economic, political or cultural issue in a journalistic manner, say the organisers. "It is given when a photographer cannot find [financial] support from the media."

Maciek Nabrdalik was selected for a project called Economic Migrations, which documents, in three countries, migrations caused by the recent global economic crisis. He will receive €8000, which will go towards the production of his work in the coming year before being shown at the 2013 edition of Visa Pour l'Image.

Nabrdalik, who is represented by VII Photo, was selected by a panel of jurors that included Jean-François Camp of Central Dupon, Cyril Drouhet of Figaro Magazine, Delphine Lelu of Visa Pour l'Image, as well as photographers Gary Knight and Pascal Maitre, who are represented by VII Photo and Cosmos, respectively.
