Photographers that are recognized through the Gomma Grant are known to have evolved their career to a higher level, both professionally and artistically.

Sylvie Hugues, Artistic advisor, proposed 12 photographers to the members of the Executive Committee and comments her choices: "After nearly two centuries of existence, photography still carries its original ontological ambiguity, a duality that makes it both a highly refined technique and a commonplace practice: a clearly identified profession and an acknowledged art form. In 2021, more than ever, the inter-mingling of artists, uses, viewpoints and skills, is reflected in the Prix HSBC."
