The White House News Photographers Association (WHNPA) was organized on June 13, 1921. In 1941, the association established an annual contest bringing forward the best of the best in photojournalism. The WHNPA now recognizes four top awards annually – Photographer of the Year, Television Photographer of the Year, Television Editor of the Year and Political Photo of the Year. The winners of the 2011 contest are featured in the exhibit. WHNPA’s main goal is to protect and promote photographers’ interests in pursuing their missions. Members of the organization cover events and activities of major world importance, traveling with presidents, photographing royalty, diplomats and newsmakers.
