WORLD PRESS PHOTO 04
02.09.–26.09.2004
WestLicht hosts the “World Press Photo Exhibition” this year for the third time. 4,176 professional photographers from 124 countries took part in this year’s WPP competition. A record-breaking 63,093 pictures were submitted. The over-all winner was the French photographer Jean-Marc Bouju (Associated Press) with a colour photo which shows an Iraqi with his four year old son in a prisoner of war camp near An Najaf in Iraq. The WPP04 exhibition does not only present the best press photos in the world but can also be seen as a document of contemporary history for the year 2003.
