Visa pour l’Image – Perpignan is launching the seventh competition for the Web Documentary Visa d’or award sponsored by RFI & France 24. The Visa d’or for the best Web documentary will be awarded for the best story produced with original, innovative use of multimedia tools.

- The web documentary should allow for true interactivity and should innovate in this domain. The user should be able to react to and become involved with the web documentary as well as able to adjust his / her navigation;
- Through their web documentary, candidates should innovate and develop or contribute to a new, innovative and easy-to-access way of exploring news on the Web;
- Production quality.

Among the Pre-selected Candidates, the jury will give the Award to the winner as concerns the relevance, quality and originality of the web documentary. Images Evidence will award the winner a prize of € 8000. The winner must be able to attend, when possible, the award ceremony, which will take place in Perpignan during the 2015 Visa Pour l’Image – Perpignan festival.
