Pictures of the Year International is the oldest and most prestigious photojournalism competition in the world. It began at the Missouri School of Journalism nearly 80 years ago. Each year expert photographers and editors select the best pictures and stories from more than 1,000 photographers working in more than 100 countries. Partnering with POY, Unbound invites you to join a panel of winning photographers in this year’s competition. The conversation will be led by Mike Davis, a former editor at National Geographic Magazine, The White House and editor of more than 40 photographic books. Mike will be joined by three photojournalists: Danish photographer Mads Nissen, this year’s International Photographer of the Year; Louie Palu, a documentary photographer and filmmaker and winner of this year’s World Understanding Award; and Danish photographer Betina Garcia, winner of this year’s Community Awareness Award for her in-depth story about three-generations of a family who moved their ranch from California to Bowling Green, Kentucky, after fleeing violence in Guatemala 25 years ago.
