jury
Our jury made a selection of 10 nominees from all the entries from this course block, from which they themselves chose a jury winner and from which the public may choose an audience winner.

We hereby introduce our panel:
Dennis van Galen
CREA director

Dennis has been the director of CREA since the end of 2019. He was previously head of artistic affairs at Adelheid Roosen's dynamic theatre organisation and before that, he was director of Youth Theatre Hofplein in Rotterdam and even managed to get a youth performance to Lowlands.

Art education is a connecting factor in his career. For instance, he was artistic director of the Theatre teacher programme at the Amsterdam Academy of Theatre and Dance. Dennis was a (guest) teacher at various conservatoires, theatre schools in the Netherlands and abroad, the Dutch Fil
m Academy, and worked as an art consultant for a contemporary art gallery in Sydney, Australia.

WINNER JURY AWARD

FRESHWATER ZEBRA MUSSEL
by Indy van Arkel
Indy van Arkel-Fresh-Freshwater Zebra Mussel-Sander.JPG

A picture full of textures, layers, sharpness and depths that makes a lot happen in the minds of the judges. You are taken on a journey through associations and images. With each cropping of the photo, a new story emerges. It is an image focusing on a minuscule detail in nature: the tiny zebra mussel, central, in a stream of crisp water over stones, edges and ledges. Water so clear and fresh you could drink it in your mind. And at the same time, the picture conjures up images of galaxies and black holes that the Euclid, Hubble or James Webb telescope might have made.

Thus, tiny and immeasurably large are artfully captured in a single photographic image.

This photo was taken during the Photography course given by CREA teacher Sander Heezen.​
