A typical scene from Dordrecht!

Dordrecht is full of stories, places, and moments worth capturing. With this photography contest, we’re building a pool of local photographers who, together, tell the story of our city.

Show us how you see Dordrecht—raw, surprising, quiet, or, on the contrary, lively.
