World Press Photo Of The Year 2011

The World Press Photo Of The Year Contest is one of the most prestigious annual events for press photographers. You loved our World Press Photo Of 2010 series and these are the winners in 2011. There are some powerful images amongst this year’s winner. Read the descriptions underneath each image to find out more about the setting and the photographer. Which is your favorite? My favorite is the image number 12, for the simple reason that to me it stands for all the protest movements we’ve seen ignite around the world in 2011.
