On May 14, 2009, the Annenberg Foundation announced the second exhibit in the Annenberg Space for Photography.

The second exhibit features the work of winning photojournalists and visual editors from Pictures of the Year International (POYi), the oldest and most prestigious photojournalism competition in the world. The top images are chosen from more than 45,000 global entries. Traditionally they were shown on a smaller scale at the University of Missouri at the Missouri School of Journalism. Now, for the first time ever, after 65 years of success in the Midwest, Pictures of the Year International is moving to Los Angeles, where it will exhibit over 80 prints and thousands of digital selections in its new home at the Annenberg Space for Photography from July 11 to November 2, 2009.

Kicking off this year's exhibit will be a two-day conference-style event comprised of presentations, discussions and lectures given by the winning photojournalists and visual editors. Named the 66th Annual Pictures of the Year International Education & Awards Program, this program will take place at the Annenberg Space for Photography on Friday, July 10 and in the Ray Kurtzman Theater at the Creative Artists Agency on Saturday July 11, 2009. The exhibit will be open to the public on Saturday, July 11, 2009.

The Annenberg Space for Photography is a cultural destination dedicated to exhibiting compelling photography. 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 intimate environment 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. The exhibits change three times a year, however the common thread throughout is one of rich emotion. The Photography Space informs and inspires the public by connecting photographers, philanthropy and the human experience through powerful imagery and stories.
