The 2024 photography show is the 25th year for National Press Club's annual celebration of visual storytelling. The 203 photos and images from 52 participants feature news photography for investigative and wartime reporting with event, travel, wildlife, street, and sports, as well as more photographic art than ever.
Plus, as 2024 marks the 25th straight year for the exhibit, the show honors its Silver Circle -- Marshall Cohen, Christy Bowe, and Jim Dandridge -- who contributed photos to every exhibit since it began in 1999. Cohen is also founder of NPC's Photography Committee in 1999, when he put on the initial show.
Dec. 5-8, 2023 at National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
The 2023 NPC photography show is National Press Club's annual celebration of visual storytelling. The 200+ photos and images this year combine photojournalism with event, travel, wildlife, street, sports, and lifestyle photography, as well as expressions of photographic art. The entries represent a wide range of experiences, interests, and geographic locations.
The exhibit also highlights the sacrifice of Ukrainian photojournalist Maksim Levin, captured and executed by Russian soldiers in March 2022, according to Reporters Without Borders. Levin's work and death underscore the dangers faced by many of our photojournalist colleagues in doing their work.
Since 2016, Alan Kotok has organized the annual members photography exhibit at National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The exhibit runs the entire month of September, and except for the pandemic year of 2020, displays print and digital images in the NPC lobby. Beginning in 2019, the exhibit includes an online catalog describing the stories behind the photos, as well as the photographers themselves, hosted on the Technology News and Literature web site.
National Press Club's Photography Team, chaired by Kotok, organized the first exhibit of news photography at high schools in the District of Columbia in Dec. 2023. Technology News and Literature also hosts that exhibit catalog.
