The Annenberg Foundation has announced the second exhibit in the Annenberg Space for Photography, an innovative cultural destination dedicated to both digital images and print photography by established and emerging artists.
The second exhibit features the work of winning photojournalists and visual editors from Pictures of the Year International (POYi), the oldest and most prestigious photojournalism competition in the world. The top images are chosen from more than 45,000 global entries.
Traditionally they were shown on a smaller scale at the University of Missouri at the Missouri School of Journalism. Now, for the first time ever, after 65 years of success in the Midwest, Pictures of the Year International is moving to Los Angeles, where it will exhibit over 80 prints and thousands of digital selections in its new home at the Annenberg Space for Photography.
Kicking off this year's exhibit will be a two-day conference-style event comprised of presentations, discussions and lectures given by the winning photojournalists and visual editors. Named the 66th Annual Pictures of the Year International Education & Awards Program, this program will take place at the Annenberg Space for Photography on July 10 and in the Ray Kurtzman Theater at Creative Artists Agency on July 11, 2009 when the exhibit will be open to the public.
POYi is a program of the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute, at the Missouri School of Journalism whose mission is to join citizens and journalists in programs that improve the practice and understanding of journalism. The goal of POYi is to provide educational outreach and professional development for students and professionals alike.
