Boston Press Photographers Association

We are thrilled to announce that the award winning images from our annual Pictures of the Year Contest will be on display in an outdoor exhibit in Copley Square for two weeks from May 24th to June 7th and in Nubian Square from June 7th to June 21st.

Our members’ award-winning work will be displayed on ten photo cubes along the Boylston Street sidewalk (that runs beside the park in Copley Square) and then again in Judge Gourdin Square, the park next to the B2 Police Department outside of Nubian Square.

We are so excited to see this exhibit become a reality and to be able to share this incredible photojournalism with the public. We hope you’ll be able to visit and check out our first ever outdoor show!

The BPPA is very sorry to report that Bob Howard, past president and chair, as well as photographer for the Boston Herald / Record American, has passed away. The BPPA we know today, and whatever it becomes in the future, is because of Bob. Our hearts go out to Bob, his wife Barbara and his entire family.
