You choose exactly what you capture, because in 2026 we will no longer be working with themes. It is precisely this freedom that makes the competition extra fun. From a maritime view to a hidden street, a special moment in nature, or a creative detail in the city: anything goes.
The photo contest invites you to look beyond the well-known places. This is how you discover how versatile Den Helder is as a nautical and maritime destination. Participating is free and easy: take a beautiful photo, share it on social media with the correct hashtag, and stand a chance to win a monthly prize. One grand winner will be selected from all monthly winners.
