POYi Celebration of
Photojournalism Just Days Away
The speakers are scheduled, the awards engraved and the guest list is at capacity for the 66th annual POYi Education, Exhibition, & Awards Program. Now it is time to celebrate great photojournalism and enjoy an inspirational experience as Pictures of the Year International and the Annenberg Space for Photography showcase the world's best photojournalism over two days, July 10 & 11, in Los Angeles.
The program unveils the POYi "Visions of Excellence" exhibition at the Annenberg Space for Photography. For the first time ever, the Annenberg Space for Photography will host the display for an extended four-month viewing through November 1. The Space showcases 80 prints and thousands of digital selections of POYi competition images.
With support from the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute and the Annenberg Space for Photography, POYi is privileged to offer this educational and development program free to all professional, student, and part-time photojournalists, and to those honored in the 66th annual competition. Attendance is free for all the sessions; however, seating is limited and our registration is already at capacity.

We sincerely want to express our appreciation to our corporate sponsors for their assistance and individual support to make this a meaningful experience for everyone.
POYi is a modest organization consisting of just a few staff members and student coordinators with boundless energy and motivated hearts. I want to express my sincere thanks to the coordinators: Lesia Tatarsky, Jimmy Meritz, Beth Suda, Zach Siebert, John Schreiber, and Ryan Gibbons. When you see these name tags in L.A., please express your sincere gratitude. And to our dedicated staff, bless you both: Janet Jensen, administrative assistant; and Heather McGuire, program manager. This first year working with the Annenberg Space for Photography has been an exciting and creative experience. I want to extend our appreciation to Patricia Lanza, Liza deVilla, Sylia Obagi, David Scharff, Lesley Meyer, Kevin Seeger, and David Seck.
The Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism provides POYi with a core foundation for traveling exhibitions, archive development, and educational workshops. The Annenberg Space for Photography is a new home for POYi's expanded exhibition this year.
These two esteemed partners champion POYi's mission to extend the reach of photojournalism by engaging citizens worldwide with the news events, social issues, and cultural influences facing our global civilization.
