Dutch Design Awards 2010 Lifetime Achievment Award Willem Diepraam

In its 8th year the 2010 Dutch Design Awards attracted over 700 entries from which the International Jury awarded 17 16 awards in the three main categories – a small scandal being caused by the jury’s decision not to present an award in the category “Fashion, Jewelry, Accessories” – numerous special awards and the “Golden Eye” for the “Best in Show”

In addition Amsterdam photographer Willem Diepraam was awarded a lifetime achievement award, the jury praising Diepraam as belonging to “a generation of European photographers who have been able to express their commitment and the intrinsic strength of their images in a personal visual language.”
