Pictures of the Year International
Pictures of the Year International, one of the world's premier photojournalism competitions, is holding its judging on the MU campus in Columbia Missouri, and more than 38,000 photos were entered into the competition this year.
David Rees, director of photojournalism at MU and coordinator of Pictures of the Year International, said POYi recognizes outstanding efforts of photojournalists in the United States and in the larger international community.
“Pictures of the Year International has been the gold standard for photojournalism since its inception,” Rees said.
2006 is the contest’s 63rd year; it began in 1943. The contest involves a panel of judges viewing slideshows of individual or groups of photos in several categories, divided into the Newspaper/General; Magazine; and Editing/Best Use/Multimedia divisions. The judges vote, and the entry is either “in” or “out.” The weeding process continues until the first, second and third place winners — and some special award winners — in each category are determined.
Rees selects the panel of judges each year by consulting with several people involved in POYi. “We’re looking for a panel that is diverse,” Rees said. “We invite judges that are tops in the field, who have a lot of experience and have a vision for the profession.”
Judging is open to the public, and several members of the community, students and photographers come to watch, enjoy and learn from the judging, Rees said.
