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.

In April the jury assembled to judge the new work and award the various prizes.
