Director's Choice: Pictures of the Year International occasionally recognizes meritorious coverage by visual journalists of significant news events or social issues from the past year. POY exercises this prerogative after judging has concluded and the acknowledgement is independent of the jury's decisions. Pictures of the Year International is proud to serve its educational mission.
