NT : What's On : Exhibitions : The Press Photographer's Year 09

The Press Photographer's Year 09

4 July - 31 August

Open Monday - Saturday from 9.30am - 11pm
and Sunday 12pm - 7pm

Lyttelton Exhibition Space

The Press Photographer's Year is unique: the only competition that showcases the outstanding photography commissioned for and used in the UK media. Designed by photographers for photographers, and judged by their peers. It celebrates the unsung art of seeing through the chaos to capture that one still moment which defines an entire news event. 

With a thought provoking collection of images from 2008, The Press Photographer’s Year returns to the NT for a fourth successive year and is held in association with The British Press Photographers’ Association and sponsored by Canon cameras.
