News Photographers Association of Canada (NPAC) presents Pictures of the Year at Pendulum Gallery, to April 23
NOW’S YOUR CHANCE to be reminded of the wretchedness that was 2020 through gripping images.
Every year at the Pendulum Gallery, the News Photographers Association of Canada (NPAC) presents an exhibition of winning photographs for the National Pictures of the Year awards, the country’s largest annual photo contest. Some 2,000 images were submitted for consideration.
From COVID-19 to social-justice protests, photojournalists faced tough circumstances on the job last year.
Only true talent could turn these themes into stunning photos that stop you in your tracks and tell complicated stories.
It’s not all bleak. There are celebrations, sunflowers, sports, and more.
“The News Photographers Association of Canada is so proud to have such a vast number of talented photographers who pushed themselves extremely hard through this challenging year to ensure Canadians can have the experience of seeing their world in a whole new way,” NPAC President Crystal Schick said in a release.
Now in its final week, the exhibition coincides with Capture Photography Festival.
