Popular Danish photography competition is going international
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
In 2024, all citizens of Europe will have a unique opportunity to participate in the Capture Your City photo competition by submitting a photo of their city. Behind the popular photo competition is Danish Architecture Centre in Copenhagen (DAC) in Denmark. This year, DAC is working with municipalities and cultural institutions in the cities of Riga, Turin, Ljubljana, Milan and Amsterdam to bring the competition to European citizens as part of the EU-project Desire – an Irresistible Circular Society.
Capture Your City is a large, open competition in which photo enthusiasts interpret their town or city as it stands today. And, now, citizens throughout Europe are invited to join as well. You don't have to be a professional photographer to participate. All you need is access to something that almost everyone has: a smartphone or a camera. Photos may be from any small village or big city in Europe.
The Capture Your City competition receives around 5,000 photos every year in Denmark, and there's no participation fee. An international panel of jury members will select the photos to be included in the physical and digital competition exhibition, which will be on display in several places throughout Europe during the summer of 2024. Each year has a new theme for participants to capture through photography. The theme for 2024 will be revealed in March at www.dac.dk and on DAC's Instragram profile.
The objective of the photo competition is to engage people even more in developments of their city and it is an excellent example of ways to incorporate user-generated content in exhibitions.
Contributions from all over Europe
Every city has its own unique characteristics, but all cities have a common challenge: how to transition to a new situation that requires us to emit far less CO2. This will influence how our cities look in the future. Europe's cities are part of Europe's cultural heritage: from Art Nouveau and Brutalism in Riga, to arcades and Baroque castles in Turin, and canals and tall, narrow buildings in Amsterdam. Or from the fashion hub of Milan to the harbor swimming pools and cycle paths of Copenhagen. But what would people who live in these cities highlight? What do they think makes their city a wonderful place to live? Or, perhaps, a not so wonderful place to live?
Kristina Neel Jacobsen, senior project manager at Danish Architecture Centre and in charge of Capture Your City 2024, says:
"We're extremely pleased with our collaboration with Riga, Turin, Ljubljana, Milan and Amsterdam and the other cooperation partners in the project, and we look forward to receiving a lot of photos from all over Europe in Capture Your City 2024. Architecture affects everyday life across age, geography, ethnicity and gender. Whether we know it or not. Capture Your City is an opportunity to show others a snapshot of our towns and cities. We're looking forward to seeing if we can spot any cultural differences and similarities across Europe in the contributions."
The competition runs from 1 March to 1 May 2024.
The photo competition is supported by the philanthropic association Realdania and the New European Bauhaus project, Desire – an Irresistible Circular Society. Desire is funded by the EU.
- The Capture Your City competition runs from 1 March to 1 May 2024.
- Participation is free of charge.
- The photos will be exhibited from 6 June to 1 October 2024 outside the entrance to Danish Architecture Center in Copenhagen. The exhibition will also be displayed at physical venues throughout Europe as well as in a digital version.
- An internationally selected panel of jury members will decide which photos will be included in the exhibition as well as the three winning photos. The winners will be announced at the opening of the exhibition on 6 June 2024 at Danish Architecture Center. The first prize is an Interrail Pass for Europe.
- This year is the competition's ninth consecutive year, and it is the first time that it will be held with participants from several countries.
- In 2024, Capture Your City is being held as part of the EU-funded New European Bauhaus project Desire – an Irresistible Circular Society. This project includes the cities of Riga, Milan, Turin, Amsterdam and Ljubljana, and the competition therefore invites citizens in these cities to capture their city through photography.
