WORLD PRESS PHOTO 2008
International professional photojournalism exhibition
From 11.18.08 to 12.14.08
The Photographic Social Vision Foundation in collaboration with the CCCB and Caja de Mediterráneo will organise the World Press Photo 08 exhibition for the fourth consecutive year.
The World Press Photo exhibition, recognised as the most important touring exhibition of photojournalism in the world, displays the award winning photographs from the annual competition of the same name.
Each year an independent international jury consisting of thirteen members selects winners from photographs submitted by photojournalists, agencies, newspapers and photographers from around the world. Photographs compete in 11 categories: news events, current affairs, people in the news, sports, action photography, sports reportage, contemporary issues, daily life, portraits, nature and art and entertainment.
The annual exhibition of the winning photographs tours to 80 cities in 40 countries each year, on condition that all works must be shown without any type of censorship. The fact that thousands of visitors around the world see the exhibition shows photography's power to overcome linguistic and cultural barriers.
World Press Photo provides images for the collective memory. Stunning images that have changed, on many occasions, the course of history and public opinion.
