Vincent van Gogh Photo Award 2021

Vincent van Gogh Photo Award 2021 now is over!

Vincent van Gogh Photo Award 2021: Vincent Van Gogh Photo Award 2021, an international photography competition and exhibition organised in Nuenen, Netherlands, now is calling for entries inviting anyone worldwide to participate.

➜ Short description

The Vincent van Gogh Photo Award 2021 recently opened for entries is an international photography competition and exhibition organised in Nuenen, Netherlands, the hometown of Vincent Van Gogh.

This year the theme of the competition is ’Pure’. An inspiring theme with many creative possibilities and freedom, and certainly something that plays in the present time. Think out of the box, just like Vincent used to do. Surprise everyone! Let the camera be your paintbrush.

The title of this event is a tribute to Vincent. He recorded with a brush, what he saw and experienced. You can do this through the lens of the camera, because maybe your picture hangs in the living and working world of Vincent in his period in Nuenen! Let your inspiration as a photographer take its course.
