POYi Returns to
The Annenberg Space
for Photography
Pictures of the Year International returns to the Annenberg Space for Photography for a second consecutive year.
The Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles will host an extended exhibition of POYi award-winning documentary photography beginning June 26, 2010. The Annenberg Space for Photography is the premiere venue for the POYi Education Seminar & Awards Program.
POYi is honored to receive support from the Annenberg Foundation for the 67th annual program that includes a 12-week public display of POYi's "Visions of Excellence" gallery showing of both print and digital documentary photography. The two-day POYi program will unveil the exhibit June 24 - 25 with presentations by award-winning photojournalists, educational workshops, portfolio reviews, and the annual awards ceremony.
A primary mission of the POYi competition is to extend the reach of photojournalists through educational public exhibitions. POYi is committed
to engaging citizens worldwide with great photojournalism. POYi is privileged to be a program of the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism. Since 2006, RJI has provided POYi with a core foundation to achieve ambitious goals for the future. And POYi's added partnership with the Annenberg Space for Photography
provides a perfect venue for outreach exhibitions.
The Annenberg Space for Photography is a new cultural destination dedicated to exhibiting digital and print photography. The Space conveys a range of human experiences and serves as an expression of the philanthropic work of the Annenberg Foundation and its Trustees. The Space opened in March 2009 and features state-of-the-art, high-definition digital technology as well as traditional prints by some of the world's most renowned and emerging photographers. General admission to the space is free.
Louisiana State Museum

The LSM's Arsenal Gallery features 53 framed 18-inch by 24-inch premium photographic prints selected from the winning entries in the 66th annual POYi competition.
