About:
POY is the oldest and among the most prestigious photo-journalism competitions in the world.
It was founded in 1944 in Columbia, Missouri (USA), originally as a press/photo-journalist contest, and over decades has expanded to cover documentary photography, multimedia, video journalism, visual editing, and more.
Its mission is to recognize excellence in documentary photography, photo-journalism, visual storytelling, and visual editing — to “show truth with a camera.”
