Jury: Patricia Steur, photographer
Prize: Canon Camera, IXUS 220 HS
Patricia Steur: "It's so Amsterdam! And it looks like a painting, too. The light is beautiful. There is another painting with Henk behind him. He has been posing!
It's actually full of art, beautiful drawings and small objects that make you curious.
In the dark at the back, someone is peeping out. In short, there's a lot happening in this photo, just like Amsterdam."
The contest is finished!
The exhibition Snapshot. Painters and photography, 1888-1915 in the Van Gogh Museum shows snapshots of painters, who experimented with photography towards the end of the 19th century. They took thousands of snapshots, at home or in the city. And now, in the early 21st century, we're still clicking away.
In the past three months people from all over the world joined this contest. Every month was in another theme from the exhibition with the emphasis on Amsterdam:
- October: Family and friends in Amsterdam
- November: City life in Amsterdam
- December: Posing in Amsterdam
