Make your most beautiful nature photo
Participate in the photo contest for adults and children by Visit Amstelveen and Canon
Nature is at its best in our city in the springtime. Wouldn’t it be great to capture this and win something nice as well? Enter the photo contest organised by Canon and Visit Amstelveen now!
Explore Amstelveen's polders, woods and parks and take the best nature photo. Upload this photo at VisitAmstelveen.nl together with an accompanying story. Also your story will be valued, because we are keen to know why you wanted to take that particular photo. Your gem could in fact soon be displayed in an exhibition at the Cobra Museum!
Every Amstelveen citizen is welcome to participate, young and old, from experienced to inexperienced and in possession of a camera or just a smartphone. A professional jury as well as a public jury will examine the entries. The best photos will be given a place at an exhibition, and the winner will also receive a great photo gadget. Also children are welcome to join and discover Amstelveen’s nature through the use of their cameras or smartphones. We even have a special prize for children up to and including 12 years old!
You can enter up to and including 21 April 2024. Grab your camera and (re)discover Amstelveen’s green areas!
