Document Netherlands Junior press kit

Alongside the Document Netherlands exhibition, Document Netherlands Junior will be on view in the Rijksmuseum Photography Gallery. Document Netherlands Junior is an annual competition for budding photographers from secondary schools and vocational colleges, addressing the same theme as the Document Netherlands commission. Nine young nominees are given a masterclass by Eddo Hartmann, Fotolab Kiekie, Irma Boom Office and Rijksmuseum staff, and the photo series they produce all feature in the exhibition.

The Rijksmuseum’s annual Document Netherlands photography commission has been running since 1975. For each edition, the Rijksmuseum invites a Dutch photographer to capture a specific topical social theme.

Document Netherlands Junior is made possible in part by the Rijksmuseum Fonds: Floor Fonds
