We are pleased to announce that Ayperi Karabuda Ecer will chair next year's World Press Photo contest. A true professional with profound experience of the photographic
industry, she is currently vice-president at Reuters. Since Karabuda Ecer was a
member of this year's jury, she already knows the procedure.
She also has this advice: "Trust your instincts. Don't try to second guess the jury. Every
constellation of jurors will give different results and there is no way
you can predict their reactions.
As a photographer today, you
are also bound to be an editor of your work. The editing process is as
much part of your work as the shooting. Take this opportunity to make
your best edit ever.
A multicultural, multi-skilled jury of
professionals will view your entry on an excellent high-definition
screen, in search of talent. You are challenged to draw their attention
with your pictures, because they are different, because they open doors
instead of just confirming perspectives.
You have something to
tell us. Pay utmost attention to the way you present your work and your
pictures will take on their own life."
