Description
Award-winning photographs to be showcased in World Press Photo Exhibition 2011
The World Press Photo Exhibition, one of the most anticipated events in the world of photography, will be coming to Malaysia next month, bringing with it a striking collection of over 160 award-winning press photographs from all over world.
The exhibition will take place at the following dates and locations:
1) Klang Valley – KLCC Convention Centre – 30 January 2012 – 12 February 2012
2) Melaka – Balai Seni Lukis Melaka – 14 February 2012 – 23 February 2012
3) Kota Kinabalu – 1 Borneo Shopping Mall – 27 February 2012 – 8 March 2012
4) Penang – Penang Town Hall – 10 March 2012 – 19 March 2012
The exhibition is a result of a worldwide annual contest on press photography. This year’s competition attracted 5,691 photographers from 125 countries including Malaysia and in total; a record number of 108,059 images were entered in the contest. 55 photographers representing 23 nationalities in 9 themed categories – Portrait, People in the News, General News, Spot News, Contemporary Issues, Daily Life, Nature, Arts & Entertainment, as well as Sports; were awarded with prize recognitions.
The breadth of topics covered by this year’s winning photographs is astounding – from the earthquake in Haiti to the Madrid bullfights are but a handful of themes represented among 2011’s award-winning crop.
The exhibitions are open to members of the public and admission is free.
Malaysia will be one of its last few stops before the World Press Photo Exhibition tour begins for 2012.
The exhibitions in Malaysia will be hosted and organized by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Malaysia and sponsored by TNT Express Malaysia. World Press Photo receives support from the Dutch Postcode Lottery and is sponsored worldwide by Canon and TNT.
For more information on the exact dates and venues for each of the four locations, please visit www.worldpressphoto.org/events.
