Will you join us on Sunday, May 31st 2026 for the Dutch Cancer Society? Then take your camera or phone with you and participate in the Zebra Uitzendbureau Photo Contest!
Whether you’ve been shooting with a professional camera for years or love snapping the trendiest pics with your smartphone—this is your moment. In honor of a wonderful milestone, we’re challenging everyone—from young creatives to lifelong locals who know the town inside out—to head out and explore with their camera.
The Challenge
Let your creativity run wild and capture the unique atmosphere of our surroundings. There’s just one fun rule: make sure your photo includes a detail from the Vissenloop as well as the theme ‘150 years of IJmuiden’.
Icons Along the Route
IJmuiden is bursting with photogenic spots. Take a fresh look at the familiar route and keep an eye out for:
- The proud lighthouses that have been guiding the way for generations.
- The characteristic water towers.
- The unique architecture and historic buildings along the way.
Every generation sees the town through a different lens, and it’s exactly those diverse perspectives that make this photo contest so special!
💡 Need a creative boost? Browse through our photo galleries for inspiration, or scroll straight to the bottom to admire the stunning nominated photos from previous editions.
Grab your camera or phone, head outside, and show us what your IJmuiden looks like!
Share your photo on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter and use the hashtag #vissenloop2026. In the week after the event, a jury consisting of Vissenloop and sponsor employment agency Zebra will choose the prize winners.
Gift vouchers can be won for the best three entries, made available by Zebra Uitzendbureau BV.
