The Jury for 2009

Our seven jurors are all photographers who have made a unique contribution to our industry. The jury will view all the submissions, both as a slide show, and as hard copy prints. The identity of the photographer will not be revealed until after the final selections have been made.

The jury will select a complete edit of photographs that together represent the very best of press photography. They will also award first prizes in the sixteen categories. All the 150 or so images selected are considered finalists. This edit will become "The Press Photographer's Year 2009" and will be exhibited at the National Theatre on London's South Bank in July and August.
