World Press Photo Exhibition in Buenos Aires
Since 1955, the Dutch organization World Press Photo offers international support to new photo journalists. The organization is known for holding the world’s largest and most prestigious annual press photography contest. The World Press Photo contest offers an overview of the way press photographers approach their work, bringing together pictures from all parts of the globe to reflect trends and developments in photojournalism.
Every year, following the World Press Photo Contest, the winning images go on show around 80 cities around the world (starting in Amsterdam) as part of the prize-giving ceremony in April, until March the following year.
This year’s exhibition comprises 196 images selected by an international independent jury from a total of 96,268 that entered the contest. The exhibition includes the prize winner and the ones awarded in every one of the 10 categories.
During September of 2009 the exhibition will be presented in Buenos Aires, at the Centro Cultural Borges, sponsored by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Argentina.
