Europol 2017 international law enforcement photo competition opens for entries

Europol has the pleasure to launch its 2017 international law enforcement photo competition.

This annual competition, now in its ninth year, recognises outstanding photography from the challenging and rewarding work of police and law enforcement agencies.

Last year’s competition attracted entries from all corners of Europe and beyond, with photographs portraying the highs and lows of law enforcement work, across the spectrum of services including police, border and customs guards, SWAT teams, Gendarmerie and more.

Entries this year are welcome from professional and amateur photographers working for law enforcement agencies and law enforcement magazines in EU countries, and countries with Europol Agreements.

Three winning photographers will win a trip for two people to the Netherlands, with a visit to Europol, and their photographs will appear in Europol’s 2018 calendars.

Eligible contestants can visit www.europol.europa.eu to download full details and entry forms in EU languages. Each entrant can submit up to five digital photographs in the categories:

Making Europe safer  •  Practice makes perfect  •  Freestyle.

Closing date for entries: Monday, 31 July 2017.
