From the 30th of October till the 29th of November WestLicht. Schauplatz für Fotografie will be showing the World Press Photo 09 exhibition. This will comprise around 200 of the best press photographs of 200 which have been awarded prizes in the most prestigious photo-journalist competition in the world.
Since 1955 the board of the World Press Photo Foundation, an independent platform for photo-journalism which has its headquarters in Amsterdam, has invited press photographers and photo-journalists from all over the world to take part in the World Press Photo competition. An international jury, which is changed each year and consists of 13 members, judges the submitted entries that come from photographers, agencies, newspapers and magazines all over the world.
