ISLAMABAD: The Embassy of Netherlands would organise world-famous World Press Photo Exhibition from March 6 to March 31 here at Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA).
The World Press Photo Awards shine a light on the lives of people around the world. They show real people’s lives, and often they reveal people living through their most difficult moments. While some of the photographs depict everyday life, many of them selected for the 2017 awards show some of the most difficult challenges facing the world today: poverty, hunger, the treatment of refugees, violence, ill health, environmental damage and discrimination.
The annual photo contest rewards photographers for the best single exposure pictures contributing to the past year of visual journalism. Whether entered as singles or stories, these pictures are judged in terms of their accurate, fair, and visually compelling insights about the world.
