The Geneva-based independent investment firm Pictet Group, established in 1805, has been designated as the Official Partner for Paris Photo 2026. This collaboration will highlight the Prix Pictet, a prestigious award for photography and sustainability created by Pictet in 2008, during the fair's 29th edition. Scheduled for 12 to 15 November 2026 at the Grand Palais, Paris Photo will feature a preview on 11 November.

The award, which offers CHF 100,000 each cycle, has seen over 5,600 photographers nominated since its launch, with themes changing each cycle. The current cycle is the 12th, and the upcoming theme will be revealed at the Rencontres d'Arles in July 2026, followed by the shortlist in July 2027 and the winner's announcement at the Victoria and Albert Museum in September 2027.
