Amsterdam 2015 · selected photograph, 1st place series

The network around the race became the story as much as the photos. Sponsors and prizes grew alongside it.

Another well succeeded event! What a beautiful photo marathon day. Amsterdam was as charming as dreamy.

Lovely to see surprised new faces realising this is indeed a race and you have to give it energy the whole day, as well as many regular followers, now more laid-back and picky with their choices. But honestly, what the team enjoyed and appreciated most was the interaction with everyone, a tight-schedule day where participants were still collaborative, motivating, giving tips to each other, and giving constant feedback.

Over the years, the most valuable thing has been the beautiful network formed around this event. Thanks to Andreas Schneider for helping out with race day tasks, to all the locations visited, and to every participant for translating the team’s ideas into great images.

It was really challenging but I loved how it makes you aware of what’s around you. Thanks for the great day!
