Pictures of the Year
The earthquake in Haiti. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Thrills and chills at the Winter Olympics.
When news broke last year, photojournalists were there to document the events, issues and personalities that shaped our world.
This exhibition showcases some of the best news photography of 2010 from Pictures of the Year International, the oldest photojournalism contest in the world.
Top awards recognize Newspaper Photographer of the Year and Freelance/Agency Photographer of the Year, as well as photographs that contribute to community awareness, global vision and world understanding. Judges reviewed nearly 50,000 entries and picked winners in 44 categories.
For six decades, newspaper and magazine photographers have competed in this annual contest started in 1944 by Cliff Edom, the University of Missouri professor who coined the term "photojournalism." |
