C-Leeuwarden is part of the Fryslân Photo Festival .  Friese (amateur) photographers and photo enthusiasts have taken the initiative for a new annual festival: FryslânPhoto. In 2017 the FryslânPhoto Festival will take place from 5 to 29 October in Leeuwarden. This year is the theme festival ‘My Place’. Photographers participating in the festival have asked us to provide images with this theme as inspiration. With the FryslânPhoto Festival, we want to put photography in Fryslân on the map and give northern photographers a stage. We also do that by organizing exhibitions and other photo activities. For example, we want to bring residents and visitors of Fryslân in a low-threshold way in contact with photography. Because photography lives! The festival consists of the following components:

• A photo tour through the city.
• A photo competition in collaboration with NRC and Kamera Express. We exhibit the best pictures.
• A photo project with refugees and indigenous district residents. During the festival these photos are exhibited.
• A photography fair for photographers and photo enthusiasts, in collaboration with C-Leeuwarden.
