The work they make for the Award will be brought together from 2 October and shown in a group exhibition in the Nederlands Fotomuseum. Based on this exhibition, an international jury of experts chooses a first and second winner.
On 23 October 2020, a jury of international experts consisting of Frits Gierstberg (chairman), Menno Kooistra (architect De Tank), Dana Lixenberg (photographer), Thomas Seelig (curator/head of the photo collection of Museum Folkwang in Essen, Germany) and Stephan Vanfleteren (photographer) will announce the first and second prize winners.
