The internationally renowned World Press Photo Exhibition returns to Britomart and will be showcased at the Nathan Gallery. Drawn from the prestigious World Press Photo Contest 2011, this collection of around 200 images is sometimes harrowing, sometimes uplifting, often moving and always thought-provoking.

This year’s selection features images documenting the impact of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami and the ‘Arab Spring’ uprisings, as well as social issues, conflicts and daily life in other diverse countries.

The World Press Photo Contest is the largest and most prestigious international press photography competition, and aims to highlight the inspirational role of photojournalism in encouraging audiences’ understanding of the world.

The World Press Photo Exhibition will be on display for two weeks and we have 20 tickets to give away to our website viewers. Simply send us an email to editor@britomart.org with ‘World Press Tickets’ in the subject line and the first ten people to do so will receive two tickets to the exhibition.
