World Press Photo draws 75k visitors

Over 75,000 people visited the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam's Dam Square to view the 57th World Press Photo exhibition. The collection showcases winning entries to the annual contest for news photographs produced during the previous year. The touring exhibit launched in Amsterdam on April 18, and took in its last guests on June 22. Alongside the images, visitors could indulge in organized presentations, discussions about issues in the photographic industry, and an awards ceremony. John Stanmyer’s "Signal" was named photo contest winner, exhibiting African migrants on the shores of Djibouti City. "Final Embrace" by Bangladeshi photographer Taslima Akhter won the audience choice award. The entire collection of winning images from the 57th World Press Photo Contest is available for viewing on their website.
