Individual Categories Instead of awarding first, second and third prizes, as we have in years past, we will award gold, silver and bronze awards. All award winners will receive special recognition certificates. Gold prizes will receive a financial award (the amount depends on how many gold prizes are awarded). Not all medals will necessarily be awarded in all categories.

POY Winners' Presentations You are invited to attend the Pictures of the Year Awards, May 6 and 7, 1999 at the Newseum in Arlington, VA, and the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C., which will include presentations by top POY winners and the College Photographer of the Year. You must register in advance. For further information, contact CPOY Coordinator Catherine Mohesky at 573-882-4442 or via e-mail at info@cpoy.org.
