World Press Photo recently announced the winners of its 2011 photojournalism contest. A non-profit organization based in the Netherlands, World Press Photo supports the development of photojournalism internationally, by holding this annual contest and exhibition, by organizing workshops and classes such as the Joop Swart Masterclass, and otherwise.
A few which caught my eye:

Wow...That top photo of the Pakistani man and boy is really incredible. It really makes you think about the power of images within the media to get an emotional response and drive the point home in a way that words can't. Thanks for sharing this!
