World Press Photo 2010
WPP.jpgIt's time for the World Press Photo travelling exhibit once again. The Dutch-based photo competition is in its 53rd year. Each year, photojournalists from around the world submit photos in a variety of categories: news, sports, travel, culture and more. The top prize-winning photos are put together into an exhibit that goes on tour around the world, visiting more than 45 countries for a year. When I visited last year's exhibit when it stopped here in Utrecht, the photos created a variety of emotions, including laughter, tears and amazement. A year later and I still remember some of the photos quite vividly. It's definitely worth a visit.

The 2010 exhibition kicks off April 22 in Amsterdam, where it will remain until June 20, before heading next to Portugal. It will be back in the Netherlands throughout the year, with stops in Utrecht, Leeuwarden, Naarden, Rotterdam, Eindhoven, Maastricht, and Groningen. The full schedule can be found on the Wold Press Photo's official website, which also includes a gallery of all of the winning photos.
