World Press Photo of the Year
2009 – Pietro Masturzo, Italy Women in Tehran shout from a rooftop in protest against the regime on 24 June in Tehran. The Iranian presidential elections were held on 12 June and the results, proclaiming victory by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over opposition candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, were strongly contested. In the weeks following the election, violent protests took place in the streets. At night, when the streets were empty, people went on to the rooftops of their homes to continue shouting their dissent. Their cries of ‘death to the dictator’ and ‘Allah u Akbar (Allah is great)’ echoed through Tehran.

1st prize stories – Walter Astrada, Argentina, Agence France-Press Mr. Andry Rajoelina, Madagascar city’s mayor, a 34-year-old former disc jockey and entertainment impresario, has held almost daily rallies along Antananarivo’s main boulevard, lambasting Mr. Ravalomanana as a millionaire dictator more interested in his own business empire than the needs of Madagascar’s impoverished citizenry. On Jan. 26, at the conclusion of a rally, protesters rampaged through the streets of the capital, setting fire to factories and stores belonging to Mr. Ravalomanana. The president’s television station was also attacked. On Saturday 7, with thousands attending his latest protest, Mr. Rajoelina announced that Roindefo Monja, a politician from the southwestern city of Tulear, would be the prime minister of his “transitional government”. A first cordon of anti-riot police retreated as the protesters advanced. But suddenly security forces inside the palace opened fire over the protesters killing 28 and wounding 212. Finally on March 18, Rajoelina became Madagascar’s acting president; a day after the army ended a months-long power struggle and swept him to power. After weeks of unrest more than 100 people in Antananarivo and elsewhere had died including 28 shot down in cold blood by the presidential guard.

General News
1st prize singles – Kent Klich, Sweden Civilians may not come under attack in war, it is written in the first lines of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Yet on the 27th of December 2008 Israel attacked Gaza by air and with troops as a military response to rockets fired at Israel from the area. In this conflict, 13 Israelis were killed in and around the twenty-two–day attack, including three by rockets fired from the Gaza Strip towards Southern Israel. During the offensive that continued into 2009, codenamed Operation Cast Lead, at least 1400 Palestinians were killed and about 5.000 were wounded. About 900 of the dead were civilians, among them 121 women and 318 children. More than 2,000 homes were totally destroyed and around 20,000 homes were significantly damaged, along with public buildings, hospitals, schools. Two billion dollars worth of destruction resulted. More than 50,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes. Israel has continued their two-year-long policy of walling off Gaza, closing all border crossings to the Gaza Strip. This policy extends even after Operation Cast Lead, with the result that Israel has prevented building materials from entering Gaza. Therefore no reconstruction has started nearly a year after, despite the world’s promises of trillions in aid. Thousands of buildings are still in ruins; the landscape is still one of devastation. Life moves haltingly within the rubble. I arrived in the Gaza Strip the 18 of February this year, just after Israel’s immediate actions of war had ceased and people had begun to try to recreate some kind of everyday existence within the broken wasteland. My task was to document the inside story, the private sphere of the devastation, the ruined homes of families that had been fired upon. The work was accomplished together with fact finders from the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights /PCHR.

3rd prize singles – Rina Castelnuovo, Israel, for The New York Times Of Ms. Castelnuovo’s picture, Mr. Witty said, “It is an evocative image not easily forgotten.” He noted, “The red arc ominously takes the shape of a sickle.” The picture was taken on Shuhada Street in Hebron. As Ms. Castelnuovo recalled it: The streets were mostly empty. I stopped to photograph some settlers marking the Jewish holiday of Purim. They were passing around a bottle of wine, toasting the holiday, nothing out of the ordinary. I noticed a Palestinian woman walking along the shut-down stores. A group of settlers were walking in the middle of the street in the opposite direction when one of them took a step towards her. I instinctually raised the camera. She didn’t scream or stop, she hurried up the street and vanished around the corner. I was left angered and saddened — as if the wine hit me.
1st prize stories – Marco Vernaschi, Italy, for Pulitzer Center West Africa, a region that has barely begun to heal from a decade of civil wars, is once again under attack. The new threat grows silently, like a cancer, and the international community appears powerless to respond. An international network led by Latin American drug cartels and the Lebanese Islamist group Hezbollah has chosen West Africa, among the poorest and more corrupted corners of the world, as the nexus for illegal trade in cocaine, oil, counterfeit medicines, pirated music and human trafficking. International law enforcement officials say the profits fuel terrorist activities worldwide. The past three years has seen a staggering increase in drug trafficking in particular, making West Africa — and especially the countries of Guinea Bissau, Nigeria, Ghana and Guinea — the premier narcotics region of Africa. The consequences are most visible in Guinea Bissau, which saw the double assassination of its president and army chief on the same day in early March and more recently the murder of two leading politicians in the struggle for succession. The consequences stretch as well to the slums of Bissau, where crack-fueled prostitution is driving a new AIDS epidemic in a region where even basic health care is beyond the reach of many — and where young people turning to the drug trade become the unwitting soldiers of organized crime. What’s happening in Guinea-Bissau, Africa’s first narco-state, is a red flag of warning for the region — and for the world. See all reporting by Marco Vernaschi on this topic on the Pulitzer Center site.

3rd prize stories – Meiko Herrmann, Germany Israel launched a military campaign in the Gaza Strip on December 27, 2008, codenamed Operation Cast Lead. The Israeli operation began with an intense bombardment, targeting Hamas bases, state and police institutions. Civilian infrastructure, including mosques, houses, hospitals and schools, were also attacked. Up to 1,417 Palestinians, and 13 Israelis died. More than 4000 homes had been ruined, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless. On January 21, Israel completed its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip but did not lift the blockade yet. On January 22, i was finally allowed to enter Gaza and these images are my testimony.

1st prize stories – Pietro Masturzo, Italy Roofs of Teheran On june 12, 2009 the Iranian presidential elections were held, and the results were strongly contested by the population. For the first time after the Islamic Revolution, Iranians expressed all their dissent, organizing huge demonstrations against the regime. But the protest was not limited to demonstrations in public spaces. Every night at 10:00, citizens gathered on building rooftops to continue their protests, chanting “Allah u Akbar,” (Allah is great). At times, these chants would be interrupted by other, more indignant, chants of “Marg bar diktator” (Death to the dictator). During these protests, the dark Tehran nights were haunted by the ghost-like shadows and their eerie voices. Dreams, memories, emotions, and hopes roam around like ghosts on the rooftops of Tehran.
2nd prize stories – Charles Ommanney, UK, Getty Images for Newsweek Behind the scenes images as President George W. Bush hands over the reins to his successor, President-elect Barack Obama. The 44th president has a daunting task but as the two men share coffee in the Blue Room of the White House before departing for the Capitol you would never know it. There was an air of calm. Both Presidents were ready. The young president elect paused for a moment to take a breath before going out and facing world to be sworn in. The Obama era had begun.

_________________________________________________

The international jury of the 53rd annual World Press Photo Contest has selected a photograph by Italian freelance photographer Pietro Masturzo as the World Press Photo of the Year 2009 from a record total entry of over 101,000 photographs. The picture depicts women shouting in protest from a rooftop in Tehran on 24 June 2009. The winning photograph is part of a story depicting the nights following the contested presidential elections in Iran, when people shouted their dissent from roofs and balconies, after daytime protests in the streets. The story as a whole was awarded first prize in the category People in the News.

The World Press Photo Contest jury chair Ayperi Karabuda Ecer said: “The photo shows the beginning of something, the beginning of a huge story. It adds perspectives to news. It touches you both visually and emotionally, and my heart went out to it immediately.”

Fellow juror Guy Tillim commented: “The difficulty in photographing conflict situations is one of portraying the parallel lives involved, of people going on with their lives. This picture has made a very good attempt at marrying these two elements, in giving the conflict a context – and that is a holy grail of photography. The photographer does it with a very beautiful image of an Iranian landscape, which would be worth looking at in itself. But it also arouses our curiosity about the woman shouting – incorporating this moment, the importance of this historical event. It represents a very honest and successful attempt at taking forward our vocabulary of showing things.”

The jury gave prizes in 10 themed categories to 63 photographers of 23 nationalities from: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Ecuador, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mali, Mexico, the Netherlands, Palestinian Territories, Peru, Somalia, Sweden, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States.

During the two weeks of judging the jury viewed a record number of photographs with 101,960 images submitted by 5,847 photographers. The photographers represent 128 different nationalities. Entries by photographers from Asia continued to increase steadily, with the majority of entries coming from China with 586 submissions (compared to 2009:490 submissions) and Indonesia with 107 submissions (2009: 77). Africa also had a higher number of entries, with a 7.5% increase. European photographers were well represented, with a significant increase from photographers from Italy with 370 entries (2009: 306) and Russia with 156 entries (2009: 130).
