From Tuesday, November 11 to November 30, Forum Groningen presents the exhibition Silver Camera, featuring the best Dutch press photos from the 2025 edition. Powerful images that tell stories about sports, society, politics, and daily life. Sometimes grand, sometimes intimate, but always impressive.

The winner of the Silver Camera 2025 is Arie Kievit with his photo series Right-wing riots, about a demonstration for stricter asylum policy. On September 20, a large demonstration against asylum policy took place on the Malieveld in The Hague. At various locations in the city, violence against the police erupted. The action group ‘Els Rechts’ organized a demonstration for stricter asylum policies, but it completely spiraled out of control. Extreme right-wing slogans were shouted, and police cars were set on fire. Several officers were injured, and journalists were harassed. A stone was also thrown through the windows of the D66 party office. The events led to a debate in the House of Representatives. In the months that followed, the Court in The Hague convicted several suspects for their involvement in the riots.

In addition to these winning images, the exhibition also showcases the winners of various categories and the public prize. Together, the photos demonstrate how powerful photojournalism can capture our time. And how one image can sometimes say more than a thousand words.

Silver Camera – traveling exhibition
The Silver Camera is the largest and most prestigious competition for photojournalism in the Netherlands and has been organized since 1949. The competition consists of eleven categories. The nominees in these categories all have a chance to win the main prize: the Silver Camera. In addition to the Storytelling Prize, the jury of the Public Prize selects ten photos from all entries that they consider accessible and appealing to a broad audience.
