The World Press Photo Exhibition can be seen from the 7th of December to 6th January 2014, in Forte di Bard. This traveling exhibition, unique in its kind, is the result of a worldwide annual contest on press photography.
Each year, an independent international jury, consisting of nineteen members, judges the entries in nine different categories, submitted by photojournalists, agencies, newspapers and magazines from all corners of the world. This year’s competition attracted 5,666 photographers from 124 countries. In total 103,481 images were entered in the contest.
The annual exhibition is shown at about 100 venues all over the world. This year’s exhibition contains over 150 photographs. It is an annual public showcase for photojournalism comprising the year’s winning photo, together with award-winning images from each of the nine contest categories.
For the 2013 exhibition tour, World Press Photo will offer a free and updated mobile Exhibition Guide. This application, which is available for both iOS and Android smartphones, offers guests the chance to discover more information about the exhibited photographs. The Exhibition Guide enhances the user’s experience by allowing them to listen to captions, read photographer biographies, and learn more about the equipment used. After their visit, guests can view their favorite photos and continue the experience online.
The Exhibition Guide can be downloaded throughout the 2013 exhibition season, from the World Press Photo website:
