The four finalists in the Prix de Rome Photography will be on exhibition from June 21 through August 18 at FOAM_Photography Museum Amsterdam.

At the beginning of January the eight finalists began with their work period of from three to four months. The Rijksacademie made available various facilities for this, including an individual studio and the use of their workshops. During this important period the candidates produced new work. In April the jury assembled to judge the new work and award the various prizes.

On June 20 the exhibitions will be opened and the official presentation of the prizes will take place in FOAM by State Secretary F. van der Ploeg. In addition, a full-color 150 page substantive publication regarding contemporary developments in photography and film/video will be released.
