Open-air exhibition

Discover the beauty of visual stories at our open-air exhibition! Enchanting award-winning photos come to life in the picturesque Park in the heart of Nuenen, North Brabant. For three weeks, we invite you to wander among images that capture the beauty of everyday life.
Let yourself be carried away by diverse perspectives and moments shared by photographers. The natural setting of the park provides the perfect backdrop for this unique open-air exhibition, which tells the story of talent and creativity. Welcome to our visual journey, where each photo tells its own story, captured and shared through the lens of local and international artists!

The three competitions:

There are three competitions within this photo contest.

The first is the main competition, also known as the regular competition, which is open to all photographers from around the world. Every photographer, whether professional, amateur, or hobbyist, is welcome to participate.

In addition, there is the Student Award, open to photography students currently enrolled in a photography program anywhere in the world. Entry fees for this category are reduced, and the prizes are adjusted accordingly.

Finally, there is the Company Award, which will be introduced for the first time in 2025. This competition is specifically aimed at companies based in the Netherlands and Belgium.
