World Press Photo Exhibit set at Ayala

The World Press Photo organization and Ayala Center Cebu proudly present the World Press Photo Exhibition from June 7 to June 29 at the mall's ground level, in Paseo Marina and Rotunda Area 1.

It features the winning images taken by photojournalists from all over the world and will be in 85 other cities such as London, Paris, Barcelona, and New York.

World Press Photo is a highly respected non-profit group known for organizing the world's largest and most prestigious annual press photography contest. Its main office is in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Its mission is to encourage high professional standards in photojournalism and to promote a free and unrestricted exchange of information. It brings together pictures from all parts of the globe, trends and developments in photojournalism, and how the press brings news.

Some winning photos in the past have become iconic: a naked girl running after a napalm attack in Vietnam; a Buddhist monk who has set himself alight; a sole demonstrator in front of tanks; a veiled woman mourning after a massacre in Algeria; a girl trapped in debris after a mudslide following the eruption of a volcano in Colombia; the execution in Vietnam of a suspected Vietcong.
