The Best of Photojournalism Committee, made up of some of the most prominent and visionary photographers, editors, and educators in visual journalism, is responsible for the oversight and strategic planning of the annual contest. Over the last ten years the Best of Photojournalism Committee has guided the NPPA’s contest to become one of the largest and most prestigious photojournalism contests in the world. We are confident that their expertise will continue to keep the BOP on the cutting edge of visual journalism as the profession continues to evolve, and the NPPA thanks them for their efforts.
