The Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands would organize world-famous World Press Photo Exhibition from March 6 to 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.
Some of the photographs depict everyday life; many of the photographs selected for the 2017 World Press Photo Awards show tough challenges facing the world today: poverty, hunger, 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 our world.
The contest was organized into categories, and judged by a jury comprising leading photojournalism professionals. The members of the jury change every year led by a chairperson and supported by a secretary who implements the rigorous judging procedures.
