Every year, Visa pour l'Image awards prizes for the best photojournalism projects from around the world.
For the Visa d’or News Award and the Visa d’or Feature Award, a jury of picture editors selects four nominees for each award from all the reports that have been seen over the previous year (both published and unpublished). This jury also selects the winner of the Ville de Perpignan Rémi Ochlik Visa d’or Award. A second jury chooses the winners of the Visa d'or News Award, the Visa d'or Feature Award and Visa d'or Daily Press Award. 
The trophies are designed and made by the Arthus-Bertrand Workshops.
