Exhibition
Through the eyes of Van Gogh
The theme for the 5th edition of the VINCENT VAN GOGH PHOTO AWARD is ‘En Route’. Everyone in this world is on a journey. The journey and the destination are very different for each person. Let your creativity run wild, because in every scene and every encounter, there lies an opportunity for a beautiful story. Be inspired as Van Gogh was. See how your photos become evidence of the beauty you encounter along the way. Participate in this photo contest and have a chance to win the grand prize of 1000 euros. Participation starts from 15 euros, and all proceeds go to charity: ‘Terre des Hommes’. Their mission is to protect children by preventing and stopping child exploitation. Visit www.tdh.nl to learn more of what they do.
