The shortlisted photographers were chosen from amongst many high-quality entries, based on the standard of their work and their project proposals created on the theme ‘Gimme shelter’. The selection committee consisted of Frits Gierstberg (curator at the Nederlands Fotomuseum), Huub Koene (founder of the Somfy Photography Award) and Joachim Naudts (curator at FoMu, Antwerp), who said: “We’re very excited about the high standard of the many entries received, and the wide variety of ideas and proposals within the theme. We have selected nine photographers as nominees for the 2020 edition of the Somfy Photography Award.”
