A larger collection in the Nordics
My Place in the Nordics is a collection project carried out by The Norden Association. The Norden Association is a democratic, non-partisan, non-religious, and non-profit organization that has been working since 1919 to promote and strengthen cooperation and togetherness in the Nordic region and with its surrounding world. The Norden Association creates meetings and enables dialogue and collaboration between people and beyond borders.
The collection aims to make visible different perspectives, experiences and experiences of living, living and operating in the Nordic region. Collection of texts and drawings is ongoing in preschools, high schools and in between associations in the Nordic region. Participating in this collection contributes to the collection of another format – photography.

If your image is selected for this purpose, you will receive a request to use the image and be offered a compensation fee that follows The Swedish Association of Professional Photographers’ price guide.
- A picture will also be selected, framed, and awarded to The Norden Association’s newly instituted Cooperation Award winner in 2024. The use of this image will be monetarily compensated as described above.
- Pictures may also be selected for a photo exhibition about living, living and working in the Nordics. The use of these images will also be monetarily compensated according to the aforementioned price guide.
