The two-day POYi program will unveil the exhibit June 24 - 25 with presentations by award-winning photojournalists, educational workshops, and the annual awards ceremony. A primary mission of the POYi competition is to extend the reach of photojournalists though educational public exhibitions.

The Space conveys a range of human experiences and serves as an expression of the philanthropic work of the Annenberg Foundation and its Trustees. The Space opened in March 2009 and features state-of-the-art, high-definition digital technology as well as traditional prints by some of the world's most renowned and emerging photographers.
