What does the forest photo communicate, Ostrobothnia?

Photography event open to all in connection with the Forests of the North Wind exhibition. Participation is open until 28 February 2025.

Photographic artists Ritva Kovalainen and Sanni Seppo, whose exhibition Forests of the North Wind is on display at the Ostrobothnian Museum from 4 October 2024 to 27 April 2025, invite the public to photograph nature, with a special focus on forests. The two acclaimed and award-winning photographers will attend the final photo review and analyse the photographs sent in by the public. What does a forest photo tell us about the state of the forest, the history of its use, and its diversity? The photos are also analysed from both an aesthetic and artistic perspective.

The event is open to the public and will be held in the auditorium of the Ostrobothnian Museum on Saturday, 15 March 2025.

Instructions for participating:

  • Participation is open to all and free of charge.
  • The photos must be from the forests in the Vaasa and Ostrobothnia regions.
  • Participants may submit up to three photos that they have personally taken.
  • Participants must have the rights to use the images they submit and the permission to publicly display them from any individuals appearing in the photos. The Vaasa Museums must have permission to use the photos on the event website, their Instagram and Facebook accounts, in the exhibition space, and for their communications.
  • The photos must be submitted as digital files. The image format must be JPEG, and the image height must be 1080 pixels.
  • Name the file: firstname.lastname_location_year.jpeg
  • The images are reviewed for their communicative value, aesthetic quality, and the state of the forest.
  • All participants will automatically be entered into a draw for three Museum Cards and three copies of the Forests of the North Wind book.
  • Participation is open until 28 February 2025.

All kinds of interesting observations of forest nature are welcome. If you are using a mobile phone to take the photos, select the highest possible image quality in the settings.

When submitting your photos, please mention where and when the photo was taken. You may also submit photos you have taken in the past, but paper photos will not be accepted. Please let us know if you do not wish your name or location to be mentioned in the event of publication. There will be no separate reward for photographs that are published.
