Pickler Memorial Library

Pictures of the Year International
 
A collection of Pictures of the Year International photographs are on display in the Library.

Pictures of the Year International began as a photographic contest in Columbia, Mo., in 1944 and grew to become a worldwide competition. The purpose of the contest is to pay tribute to photographers for their hard work and commitment.

Pictures of the Year International is a way to both honor photographers as well as raise cultural, political, social, economical and environmental awareness. The photographs remain beautiful while portraying the serious issues of war, famine, natural disasters, endangered wildlife, disease and victims of violence.

The photographs are on loan from Missouri School of Journalism until May 8. This display is sponsored by Truman’s Women of Sigma Lambda Gamma.
