Product Description
"Represents some of the very best work being done around the world today."—News Photographer. "Will amuse, sadden, console, and ultimately teach you much about this world of ours."—Popular Photography
For more than fifty years an international jury has met in Holland under the auspices of the World Press Photo Foundation to choose the world's finest photographs. This is universally recognized as the definitive competition for photographic reporting, and photojournalists, newspapers, and magazines throughout the world submit thousands of images in the race to win.
The World Press Photo Competition 2008 brings together some 200 images. The best pictorial journalism from an eventful year, this selection brings us face to face with contemporary world events—an impressive visual record of social, political, cultural, scientific, and, above all, human milestones. 200 illustrations, 150 in color.

The most captivationg cover ever November 2, 2008
I saw this exhibit in Costa Rica and been captivated with the photos, especially the cover picture which won the first prize. This is a must have for everyone's library regardless if you are into photography or not. Support the journalist who go the extra mile to slap us with the reality of our actions.

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The World Press Photo competition is an annual event, drawing entries from the world's leading photojournalists. And it's FREE to enter!! The judges have tens of thousands of images to choose from and the process for doing so has been refined and improved over the years. The result is an annual publication that features much of the top photojournalism content from the previous year. This is an essential purchase for anyone with a serious interest in world affairs, journalism, and/or photojournalism.
