Zilveren Camera 2024

News photography captures everything happening in society, highlights emerging issues, and documents developments that shape our collective memory. The Zilveren Camera is the most important award for photojournalists in the Netherlands and is traditionally presented first at Fotomuseum Hilversum. For multimedia projects and autonomous photography, there is a special Zilveren Camera category: Storytelling. The three winners are shown here. All winning photos, as well as the works of the other nominees, were on view during this exhibition.

The winner of the Zilveren Camera 2024 is Remko de Waal, with his photo “On the way to Gold.” It shows Sifan Hassan during the Olympic marathon in Paris.
