Finally, the work of Pierre Keller, director of the ECAL from 1995 to 2011, was honoured with a posthumous Cultural Prize of CHF 30,000. This sum will be used to finance the Pierre Keller Prize, which has been awarded since September 2020 to an ECAL graduate whose work is distinguished by a particularly committed character (first laureate: Tara Ulmann, Bachelor Photography).
