This exhibition, which travels the world, showcases the winners of an international photojournalism competition. The show will be brought to the city by the Rotary Club of Auckland.
“The exhibition is unique”, says Don Bendall, President of the Rotary Club of Auckland. “It brings together moving and thought-provoking images taken around the world, by the world’s best photojournalists. We are very pleased to make this outstanding collection of photographs available to Aucklanders”.
This year’s exhibition contains 162 photographs, chosen from more than 100,000 images submitted to the competition by photojournalists, agencies, newspapers and magazines from 128 countries.
The exhibition will be on display at Smith and Caughey Queen St, on Level 6, from 13th August 2010 to 3rd of September 2010.
All proceeds from the entry fee of $5.00 will be donated to charity by the Rotary Club of Auckland.
