The Refugee Talent Hub launched a photo competition on 30 October in collaboration with NRC, Humanity House and OBA. The theme of the photo competition – Ode to Talent – must highlight talent in all kinds of forms and powers. This photo competition is open to all (professional and hobby) photographers with a refugee background. The opening of the photo exhibition ‘Ode to Talent’ takes place on Thursday 24 January at Humanity House in The Hague (attendance by invitation) and is then free to visit for a few weeks.

The winning images will eventually arrive in a traveling exhibition, where they will be presented at different locations – at both corporate and public locations.

De jury consists of: Natalia Toret (picture editor in chief NRC), Jan Dirk van der Burg (Photographer Laureate), Lisette Mattaar (Director Humanity House), Wilma Roozenboom (Director Refugee Talent Hub), Pascal Cialdella (Manager Commercial Terms & Contracts Vopak) en Roel van den Sigtenhorst (Department head Adults OBA).
