South African photographer Jodi Bibber and other winners of this year's "World Press Photo" photojournalism contest received awards at a ceremony yesterday in Amsterdam.
Bibber's photo portrait of Bibi Aisha, an Afghanistan girl with nose cut off by her husband, won the premiere prize of "photo of the year".
"I am very happy that my photograph of Aisha won. I mean it speaks clearly around the violence against a woman," the photographer said.
"And also because there is the controversy around the photography, I thought in some ways it was a very daring decision by the jury members."
For the first time, this year multimedia contest was added to World Press Photo's annual competition, the most prestigious photography contest in the world.
The New York Times production "Home Front" won the first World Press Photo prize in the linear multimedia category, while "Prison Valley", an interactive production that explores the prison industry in Canon City of the U.S. state of Colorado, got the first World Press Photo prize in the online interactive category.
"Multimedia are now taking on the role that the picture story used to have in the heydays of printed press, say the 50s, 60s, 70s still," said Bas Vroege, member of World Press Photo's supervisory board.
According to him, in a world where the Internet has taken the overhand, the role of a press photographer changes accordingly. He said he believes multimedia is an enriching development in the world of photojournalism.
