2008 World Press Photo Awards Days
Click here for website
Prizewinners are invited to Amsterdam to receive their awards and hundreds of other photographers and associated professionals travel to the city. Prize-winning photographers have the opportunity of presenting their portfolios publicly. Every year World Press Photo invites a prominent speaker to give the Sem Presser lecture on a subject of crucial relevance to the field. The Awards Days culminates in an awards ceremony which also marks the official opening of the first exhibition of the season.
Another highlight of the 2008 Awards Days is the launch of the book World Press Photo: New Stories. World Press Photo invited twelve former seminar participants to contribute photo essays for a publication which will be a showcase for the power of visual storytelling. The photographers were given the freedom to go beyond a normal editorial commission. Instead, the UN millennium development goals provided the context for a creative interpretation of their chosen subjects.
