Join the My Summer Window photo competition

Inspired by the museum's current exhibition, Window Behaviorology, and the book, The Nordic Window, we aim to highlight the special moments that occur around windows, which greatly influence our behavior. 

During summer, our windows are flooded with light that dance across the room. Curtains move gently in the breeze, while fresh air seeps through the gaps, filling the room with a scent of summer. Picture for example the window in your holiday home, where typically, one of the first things you do is to open it and check out the view and the light.

Grab your camera and capture that moment when summer unfolds through a window.

We look forward to seeing your interpretation of My Summer Window.

 

How to participate

Send your photograph in a message to the museum's Instagram profile @villumwindowcollection or via email at trm@vkr-holding.com.

You're welcome to participate in the competition with multiple photographs.

We will continuously post your entries on Instagram throughout the duration of the competition.

 

Deadline and award

Submit your photograph to us no later than August 28, 2024. The winner will be announced on September 6, 2024, on the museum's website and Instagram.

We will select the three best photographs, each of which will win a Membership Card for the Danish Architecture Center and a copy of the book, The Nordic Window.

A selection of the submitted photographs, including the three winning photographs, will be displayed in a small exhibition at VILLUM Window Collection in the autumn of 2024.

Please remember to retain a high-resolution copy of your picture, as it will be necessary if your picture is later included in the exhibition.
