For more than fifty years an international jury has convened in Holland under the auspices of the World Press Photo Foundation to choose the finest press photographs of the year. Universally recognized as the definitive competition for photographic reporting, it draws submissions from photojournalists, newspapers, and magazines throughout the world.
World Press Photo 2010 brings together some 200 images, selected from more than 90,000 photographs taken by over 5?000 photographers. These prize-winning photos provide an impressive visual record of social, political, cultural, scientific, and, above all, human milestones from an eventful year.
